91 - SIF
4.5
Solid CB, but moves very high up the pitch
By fotballhode, 28-02-2018

SIF Hummels is a very solid CB. In all honesty he almost never makes a mistake. He doesn't give away cheap penalties or free kicks. He wins almost every header and can score from a corner. His major drawback is his high attacking workrate and slow pace.


He moves very high up the pitch and has at times stood with my CMs in an otherwise normal situation which is a bit worrying from time to time. But I feel that his high composure, positioning and good passing stats makes up for this.


I use a Catalyst chem style on him, which makes him a great CB at passing the ball out to my wingers with his exceptional long passing. The chem style also gives him a needed pace boost. He is however not very quick, so if he's high up the pitch he will be beaten by most strikers with 85+ pace.


To be honest I picked him up in the first week and decided to sell him due to him moving too high up the pitch for my liking. I picked up TIF Ginter instead, but I just missed SIF Hummels, he just never makes a mistake. So I've now bought him back and I don't think I'll change him out.


I would recommend pairing him with a fast CB and a fast Fullback on his side of the pitch.

TOTS Hummels

I was pleasantly surprised about Hummels after packing him in a upgrade SBC. As I have a Bundesliga team I swapped him for 88 Boateng just for a test and he is a main stay now. If your thinking of purchasing him but are put off by his H/M work-rates then don't be as because of his pace upgrade he now has a good recovery speed. I put a shadow chem style to boost this further. The guy is a machine in the defense, constantly i...

Is he any good?

The short answer: Yes.The longer one... well, let me explain.The ProsDefending. I immediately slapped an anchor chem style on him, as his pace with high-medium work rate is not that good. But more of that later! With the new chem style his defending jumped up to 99 almost so yeah, no problems th...

Better than Bonucci or Ramos

I've always loved Hummels irl, so I decided to give him a go recently. He is by far one of the best defender I've used in the last fifa's. His marking is incredible, he has incredible defending in game (only cost me like 2 goals in 20 games) and on top of that : he's really cheap compared to ramos or boateng ! He's also very important when it comes to corners : if you give him the right instructions, his heading will give y...
