Kroos the Machine

By HenryFifa23, 22-05-2018

I played Kroos at LCM in 41212 narrow due to his 5 star weekfoot and he has been a massive impact to my team. He seems to turn up everywhere, coming out of nowhere to score sweaties in the box, making great interceptions in the midfield and sometimes pulling out wide to add width to the attack.

Pace - Although his pace is low, with a chemistry style like shadow or hunter he gets a nice 90 acceleration and actually doesn't feel very slow. Due to his strength he can often push faster players away so he can be quite hard to catch

Shooting - His shooting is excellent, the power on his long shots means he always seems to hit the top corners. He can bang it either foot meaning you can be unpredictable outside the box. I'd reccomend doing power shots but his finesse shots are excellent also. He's also scored some excellent volleys from outside the box for me. He also never chokes a shot and is the most consistent finsher I've used this Fifa due to his 99 composure.

Passing - His passing is amazing, he hits it like Paul Scholes back in the day and can find a ping from anywhere and on either foot. He has great crossing so when he does peel out wide he delivers right onto somebodies head. His crossing's been so good he's even made Neymar score a couple headers for me with his accuracy. He's excellent at free kicks with that side run up which seems so good this year and his corners are great if you've got the bigmen in the box.

Dribbling - Kroos has been making amazing runs from deep for me to the edge of the box due to his silky touches and amazing dribbling. He has decent agility and balance for a bug guy so can turn very easily and with good acceleration heavy first touches can be really effective.

Defending - His defending is decent although it's nothing amazing. He tackles well but his interceptions are amazing, he will intercept all types of passes through the midfield and will always intercept and start a counter attack when you need it.

Physical - Kroos is a big guy and with his 84 strength he can muscle a lot of players of the ball. At CM you don't notice his strength much against other CM's, but at CDM he really muscles a load of CAM's when they've got the ball. He also has lasted the full 90 minutes many times and always puts in a shift.

Heading, he won't win a load of headers in the middle.
Low base pace limits chemistry styles that can really be used.

Toni Kroos

The German God

So I dont normally write reviews on players, BUT this time I have to make an exception. Please keep in mind that this card highly depends on what game style you represent, but I dont think that something that needs to be explained. I use him in 4-2-2-2 formation at LCM (to allow him to use the godly 5 star WF or make a finesse shot to the far right corner) with KDB (SBC) and TOTS D.Silva To have him on strong links, ...

A perfect midfielder

When I got him through SBC with a guaranteed player from the team of the season, I wasn't very excited about him, mostly because of his pace. And that was a BIG mistake! This man is great! At the beggining I used him as CM in 4-1-2-1-2(2) and he was pretty good, but not as good as 96-rated card. Then I started playing him as CAM in 4-1-2-1-2 formation and it was definitely...

Alchemist

I wrote the review called "Masterpiece" for the first Kroos IF. Based on that, this version broke all my previous perception of passing and shooting. This guy becomes everything in gold. Classic play, I recover the ball with marcelo, then I pass it to SF Kroos, he turns, looks Salah in the other corner of the field, and he puts a magic long pass exactly where I imagined. Same happened when he receives the ball 35 mts from t...
