86 - Normal
4.5
The Most Underrated 86 Card
By Corty, 28-09-2017

Why is it, that Muller always gets shunned? Everyone i hear says he is the worst high rated player. Why? Because you cant be a pace whore with him? I just can't understand and now i am here to shed some light on why this card is 86 rated! Important note! This review is based on a Müller, used with Hawk chem style! All the stats i list and mention are boosted by the chem style!


Let's get the negatives out of the way first shall we?


Balance and strength at 72, so he can be pushed off the ball and fall over if meets with strong defenders so keep that in mind.


Speed. He's not the quickest yes. His acceleration is good but reaches his top speed fast so you will need to supply his hunger for goals with wingers or a striker partner because believe me... his hunger can only be satisfied with hattricks!


Thats all the negatives i can muster because he was like a machine in front so let's jump into the positives!


Shooting. 99 positioning, 92 finishing, 83 composure. In front of goal, inside of the penalty box, outside the box... he is deadly from anywhere! I only found it hard to score with finesse shot so i did not forced it, instead i used power shots and they were ripping trough the net! Also he has 91 heading and 82 heading accuracy so from corners, crosses he will jump as high as a kangaroo to win the header.


Passing. His basic card is a CF he is both good at the CAM position and in the ST position. But better as a striker. His short passing at 81 is perfect for a striker, to poke the ball to your other striker or wingers or your CAM who are arriving in the second wave to score.


With 92 reaction he's always on the lookout for loose balls, quick interceptions and he has the poacher trait, so he always there to get the ball and score a goal from any chance he can get!


Lets see the stats that are not pros and not cons but needs to be mentioned!


Work rates, High-High. With 90 stamina you don't need to be worried he will tire himself out. I will be honest i was afraid of his work rate but after using him, i was so used to it that i started to like it! He always went after the ball like a little puppy who wants to play with his favorite toy. He always chases the ball back and forth, never just idling around waiting for a pass so he may score a goal or two.


The enemy starts a counter attack? He goes back to help. You got the ball? He sprints forward assisting you in the build up play, always making runs by himself, going into empty space so you can pass to him. He is an engine that runs on cold fusion, never running out of steam! You can count on him to do his outmost so you can win!


I spent 20.250 coins on him and now he goes around 25.500 (xbox one) and he's worth every penny i spent on him. This card is a gem. I paired him up with IF Aranguiz and Robben (check my other reviews on them, shameless plug-in:) So i paired him up with them and they were like a trio that always played together scoring 60+ goals in 30 games!


Hope this helped you!:)

Beast

Got him untradeable from Bundesliga TOTS and he's the best striker i've used so far.Low driven, long shot, headers, he scores them all. He outruns the defenders and can also pass the ball, then go for a run and score.The positioning at corner kicks is also very good, scored some last minute corner kicks with him.He turned around some games by himself.I played with 93 Kane for some time but this M...

Great CAM

I used to run the above squad with a trio of TOTS Gomez, PTG Icardi and Dybala which was alright but just didn't suit my play style. Went on to do the Bundesliga Guaranteed TOTS and packed Lewandowski.With a 97 rated untradeable player packed, I just had to build a team around him. This then prompted me to sell my TOTS Ramos to fund the purchase of TOTS Muller and TOTS Werner. This front three is devastati...

The Terror that flaps in the penalty box

This is the player, you always wanted, but never thought about to ask. He is like an assassin hiding in the shadows, waiting to appear out of nowhere to strike. To put things into the right perspective,here are my thoughts on him. He is probably the Bundesliga's best RF/RW/RM you can get right now. He isn't that flamboyant winger, you use to outpace your opponent, but he is almost perfect in the buildup (4-4-2 diamond) and ...
