91 - TOTS
This is my first review on here and I made an account just so I can tell you guys how good TOTS Gnabry is. I got him from a player pick, but I couldn’t link him so he had to be a sub for me. I normally don’t use super fast players, but after doing Saint-Maximin’s FS SBC, I had to try this guy out. You can play him as LW, RW, and as a ST. When I sub him in as a WING I just do bicycles and body feints. He leaves defenders (even Van Dijk like in the GER vs NED game) helpless with his agility. I put a sniper on him to increase his finishing and dribbling since he already has enough speed. In 30 games I’ve subbed him in on (min 65+}, he’s scored 22 goals from either solo plays on the wings or as a ST chasing a threaded through ball from Messi. He’s insane.

- AGILITY
- DRIBBLING
- FINISHING
- CELEBRATION
- STAMINA ( If you want him as a starter)
To begin with I packed this lad from the Bundesliga TOTS guarantee. Which cost me little to no coins. First couple games I realized this guy has rabbit feet. Give this guy any type of through ball and he’s going to take off from the opposing defender. He has a blistering shot power making long shots a must with him. Overall after about 100 appearances I can say Fifa finally rewarded me with a great player. A little disclosure I play heavily relying on counter attacks and he fits perfectly into my squad. I have him as a RM with Gary Lineker and Thierry Henry as my strikers. Great great wing player.

Pretty much only one I could think of
Stamina. Starting to realize after 70th min he becomes weaker to defenders.
Serge is a quality right winger, 99 acceleration makes him lightening quick, you don't need to touch the pace so I went for marksman as a chem style which gets his power, finishing and long shots to 99 which is amazing. With a 4star weak foot this means you can just smash it when anywhere near the box and you have a decent chance of scoring. Only downside on shooting is the 80 composure and lack of curve meaning finesse isn't an option and sometimes he can miss easy chances when under pressure from keeper or defender. I find him better from 20yards than 10yards and i just hit everything hard, he's great from the right side across the keeper.
His dribbling is excellent on top of the pace he has 99 agility and 97 balance with 96 control and 99 dribbling so he feels really smooth on the ball and is great at twisting and turning, plus he's quite small so he moves in and out of tackles really well, he also has 86 strength so this with the balance means he can hold off a lot of fullbacks when through.
His passing isn't the strongest and if you cross a lot the lack of curve and 89 crossing and 80 long passing may be an issue for you but i tend to play on the floor so its not been a problem for me, however he has 93 short passing and for pass and move football these stats are perfectly good enough
He's also not very tall so if you want to go for the lobbed back post cross a lot then he probably isn't the option for you either but he has 99 volleys and has scored a few belters for me from crosses.
If you want a quick winger to get in the box and score you goals then he's a fantastic option, but if you want him to cross it and you want to cross to the backpost for him then i'd avoid,
pace
shooting
dribbling
crossing
height
At first i must say, this card was quite amazing. He could do anything! He had the paceshooting passing and the ball control of dreams but as i continued to use him his form just kept on dropping and dropping. He would score almost every shot and could get in crosses with ease but now he struggles to get shots on target (I used deadeye chem style)
You feel his pace
Great ball control
He struggles to win headers and balls in the air
Hasn't got much stamina
Not too much strength
