Do not buy.

I want to love this card so badly, my main team to start this year is Bundesliga and there really isn’t an elite option at RB.

At first glance it seems like IF Kimmich has it all, the stats on this card are bonkers, he has the sixth highest In Game Stats total out of every non-Icon card in the game. Passing? Incredible. Dribbling? Excellent. Defending? Stalwart. Has infinite Stamina to keep up with late game attacking subs, good jumping to clear lobbed through balls, enough strength to not get bullied by the stronger wings. His Shooting is average, but enough to bang in wide open opportunities, which is adequate for a RB.

So where’s the hang up? Pace is slightly low, but that’s nothing a Shadow card can’t fix … right? Turns out, in this case, no.

IF Kimmich has one glaring and irredeemable weakness: Sprint Speed - 68

The most you can add to Sprint Speed via chemistry is +10, so In Form Kimmich’s max possible Sprint speed is 78, and that’s nowhere near enough. The pacey wingers that everyone uses have 15-20 Sprint Speed advantage and they will run by him like he’s not even there. Maybe you can get away with this against the AI in Squad Battles but any competent online opponent is going to run his attack through the LW all game long and torch you.

Alternatives?

Piszczek - Rock Solid in defence, decent on the attack but you’ll miss Kimmich’s passing and dribbling. Also has Long Throw which can be fun sometimes.

Weiser - Great speed and dribbling, including 4 star skills, will let you down on defence sometimes.

RIP Joshua Kimmich, let’s all hope for another Bundesliga RB In Form.

Almost everything, especially passing, dribbling, defending and stamina.

Sprint Speed, an unusable 68.

Absolute god!!

When i packed him in a guaranteed bundesliga tots pack, i had very mixed opinions, already having "packed" tots kyle walker as well.However, this guy is a beast wherever u put him. As a cdm for now in a 4-1-2-1-2, super subbed on at the start of a match, he was so reliable and classy and versatile.Just put a hunter and there is nothing more to be said

Cheap Icon! (Kimmich)

I still don"t understand why I am not seeing this card in any squads. All I see is TOTS Kyle Walker. This card right here is, in my opinion, the best RB on the game without a doubt. I used his TOTGS card since it came out and I loved him. But boy oh boy, is this TOTS card on a different level. First thing I noticed was that TOTS Kimmich is ALWAYS in the right place at the right time. I never feel like his ...

TANK

Paid 50k for him in the Bundesliga TOTS SBC and he is worth 100 times that. Chucked a hunter on him, and he becomes the most complete RB. He always stays back when you need him and makes good runs when he can. I switch him in-game to CM at half-time when struggling and he always pulls me through. His height isn't even an issue as he wins most headers due to his 98 jumping - unless you're coming up a 6'2" + striker he'll win...
