86 - Normal
5.0
Marco Reus
By DrShank, 11-10-2017

So, for those skeptical about picking up a player worth over 100K, you want to be sure and have the clarity before picking up a potential game changer. I can tell you that Reus is worth every penny in my opinion. I played him as a LST on 7 Chemistry in a 4-2-2-2 and he outperformed expectations. His shot pre and post patch had longshots and finesse shots going in from every angle mainly down to his high shot power coupled with very good finishing for a winger. Overall, great stats, great card, good links, worth anything under 250K for me. Was able to attained E3 in the first WL with the 4-2-2-2 in the squad shown.

  • Pace (86 Acceleration, 90 Sprint Speed)
  • Finishing 86, Longshot 88, Shot Power 87 (In & Around The Area)
  • Dribbling (86 Agility, 85 Ball Control) (Not necessarily the reason to buy him but it's still fantastic and opens up good lanes for passing and shots)
  • Skill Moves 4* (Able to perform most of the important skills with his 4* and can do them at pace because of his high agility and player model)
  • Passing (Able to make inch perfect passes in difficult situations and crossing is superb when utilized correctly)
  • Weak Foot 4* (Could shoot from any angle and distance with his weak foot, was comfortable taking any shot)
  • Strength 67 (With only having 67 Strength he is able to get pushed off the ball, however, his height and balance help repossessing in the attacking third. Overall, still a negative)
  • Stamina 68 (I played all 40 games in this previous WL and didn't notice much of a problem when it came to stamina, overall I haven't noticed much of a difference when a player runs low on stamina, doesn't effect me as much as last installment).

Cheap Ronaldo?
By Alexcris007, 09-01-2018

You can see from the title that I compare him to the beast, Cristiano Ronaldo. Because he is a beast himself. I played over 150 games with him and he scored almost every game. He is just everyone in attack, he can score almost from everywhere. I bought for 40k, and I think that's a bargain

  • Pace - Is very hard for defenders to catch him, ussualy I score easy 1v1 goals with hom
  • Shoot - Better than most of the legends shoot. Trust me. Almost every shot with him inside the box is a goal. His shot is very powerful and precisive.
  • Passing - Playing him as a CAM i needed that passing and it was exactly what i needed
  • Dribbling - His agility and balance helps him to get over defenders very easy
  • 4*/4* - is just a basic thing, but it helps him a lot in his games
  • Stamina - the biggest issue that I find is his stamina. He just cannot finish a game without being subbed. I usually play 60-70 minutes with him and then I sub him because he is exhausted
  • M/M Workrates- I play him as a Left CAM in 4-2-3-1 and he pushes down to much.. and that consumes his stamina faster. When my team is in defense, he will also come to help and that's not good because his defending doesn't help him
  • Strenght- not a major issue, with his pace he is almost every time in front of defenders

One of the best
By Tsnobody, 13-01-2018

Marco Reus may be the best finisher I've used this year. In a 4-3-2-1 with Robben on the other side I switched the 2 of them around (I like my right footers to be on the right side). With 86 finishing he has some of the best I've used this year. 90 sprint speed talks for itself and with 83 composure you are sure to not lose the ball easily. The only con I find with Reus is his right foot and his stamina. I mean 68 stamina for a winger is not good. I usually have to switch him out in the 70th minute.

  • Composure
  • Finishing
  • 4-star skill moves
  • 4-star weak foot
  • Right foot on a left sided player
  • 68 stamina
  • Strength
