Player Review
88 - TOTGS
From the time that Kimmich got his first inform, he has been a staple in my squad, usually featuring in the Bayern triangle. In a 4-3-2-1 I play an attacking style with RB/LB always on overlap. He is perfect for attacking. I upgraded from the 84 to the 86, and now that his TOTGS has come out he slots right in. I am usually smart about waiting until a player gets cheap after being in packs all week, but had to throw him into the squad for this weekend league! He did not disappoint and I would vouch that he is a top 3 RB in the game, and the only other player to rival him in attack being Florenzi. Such a beast, and well worth his price tag even now!
Stamina (outstanding)
All Dribbling stats (better than wingers)
Crossing (ridiculous)
Passing and Shooting both are great for an attacking fullback
4 Star Weak Foot makes him great on the ball and using either foot
There are only 2 things I would mention as his weaknesses:
First, the most glaring stat on this card, and one that might turn you off would be his Pace, in particular Sprint Speed that is a 71. Don't let this turn you off! His positioning (87), high agility (92), and defending stats (98 w/ shadow) make up for this area and still will shut down the likes of Martial, Sane, and Son. It is vital that you use the Shadow chem style so you can get the most pace out of him that you can, as it will boost his pace to 89 overall.
Second would be his height. He feels very small in game, but just like with his pace, he makes up for it with tremendous stats in other spots. His jumping (91) and aggression (85) both help him to win headers over any winger, even out jumping Ronaldo for headers at times.
