86 - Normal
So I was looking for a good striker in the Bundesliga for a long time, I had Werner before and he just didn´t get the job the done when it came down to finishing, also with Reus I already had one quick guy in place.
That´s when I decided to look for positioning, finishing and composure stats as main criteria. Müller checked all those boxes and at that time I was a bit short on coins, so no Lewandowski.
This was one of my best FUT decisions, he finishes everything. He has mediocre stats nearly everywhere, but for some strange reason he feels incredible. In my second team I have 90 Higuain, a clinical finisher, but if I had to choose between them, I´d take Müller all day. Despite other players get to 99 positioning with a hunter, he seems to be even better, he´s always in place, rebound, headers, cutbacks it´s crazy, my Higuain doesn´t do that.
His assists are also consistent, but still, he´s better on the receiving end of a pass or cross. He was a real game changer for my Bundesliga squad, fantastic. I could afford Lewandowski now, but thanks to Müller I can now use that money to improve other parts of the team, he is doing more than a good job.
The only thing I can get out of Higuain, that I missed in Müller, is that he is not strong enough to hold the ball at the edge of the box, when the stronger defenders try to break through his shielding. That´s a thing you can adjust to though, still it takes away a bit of variability.
I enjoy him very much and would recommend him to everyone, I can´t tell you why he is able to do what he does with those stats, but he get´s the job done for sure.
+ Nearly perfect finishing inside and outside the box
+ He makes increadible runs and has the right timing doing so
+ Reacts extremly quick to get a rebound
+ Applies high pressure on defenders
+ Can win running duels with the quickest defenders due to his stamina (late game)
+ Plays 120 mins without a problem
-He isn´t the quickest (early game)
-Long shots are not his specialty (edge of the box works well, everything further not so much)
-Long passes are a bit unreliable
-Lacks strength for hold-up play against strong defenders
-only 3* skills
