Player Review
88 - SBC
Schweinsteiger is a very versatile midfielder, he's pretty tall at 6"0 and he has 80 in every card stat other than his pace - at 65 - which lets him down slightly. The thing i love most about his card is his versatility as a midfield sub. His solid defensive stats (namely his 88 interceptions, 82 Stand tackle and 83 strength) means that he can do a good job as a CDM who will win the ball back in a deep position and then play it forwards to a teammate with absolute ease and his 98 composure means that he will never stumble when under pressure, paired with his 89 long passing and 87 short passing he will always get the ball safely out of harm's way. As a CM he is brilliant because of his great all around stats and his 89 ball control which means that he is unlikely to lose the ball. He is good as a CAM because of his powerful and accurate long shots along with his solid curve, short and long passing and his brilliant 89 vision. I believe that his best position is a CM because of his versatility and his lack of pace (which leaves him less suited to a CAM role) I would rank his top positions as follows:
1. CM
2. CDM
3. CAM
4. CB
5. RB (occasionally the suggested sub will tell you to put him at RB but it's a badddd idea he lacks stamina and isn't fast or agile enough)
Oh yeah, and he's completely free so you're getting an 88 rated card for nothing (the easiest way to get him is to go on single player seasons and scored 10 downwards headers using a really tall player like a CB because the opposition AI are dreadful)
