Picked him up a couple weeks ago for 65k because TOTS gnabry was way too expensive for me. He starts as RCAM is 4231 for chem reasons, but i change ingame to 4312 where he plays RS alongside 87 batshuayi with 87 kramaric at cam. instructions are get in behind and press backline. i mostly play squad battles on legendary.

At the beginning i couldn't get used to him (i used to use skill moves a lot and 3* is not the greatest), but at some point i changed my playstyle and started using basic dragbacks, heel-to-heel flicks and ball rolls, and that's when i started to play well with werner.

PACE: 10/10. 95 pace is absolutely crucial for him because i can use marksman and improve other areas, but most importantly he FEELS like he has 95 pace.

SHOOTING: 9/10. inside the area he almost always finishes (every strikes misses some chances), but my only issue with his shooting is that i don't feel very confident with his long shots, unlike kramaric and batshuayi that scores them nicely even with their weakfoot. other than that, he's as flawless as you can get, even with that 79 composure. my record with him is pretty bad just because i take less shots with him than i do with bats and kramaric (who both have around 1 goal/game ratio)

PASSING: 9/10. this is wierd. ok he has 88 short passing, but he has 66 vision so i don't feel like he should get as many assist as he actually does for me. he has one more assists than bloody kramaric who plays cam and has 83 vision / 99 short passing. when i find myself crossing with him for bats i actually feel confident because he has 80 crossing and 72 curve which isn't that bad. never tried long passing so i'm not giving him a 10 but for what he does for me he's absolutely a 9.

DRIBBLING. 10/10. Very agile and reactive, brilliant ball control and dribbling, all above 90. he feels the smoothest you can get for a 180 cm guy with 3 star skill moves. very satisfied with his dribbling, especially dragbacks and heel-to-heel flicks.

PHYSICAL: 8/10. i would like him to be stronger, great stamina, amazing jumping. he's not the tallest but he scores some great headers, which is not why i bought him for since i already have batshuayi, so actually very good.

CONCLUSIONS: he's absolutely worth the price, possibly even if he'd cost more. i'm very satisfied with him in everything apart from his longshots, but to be honest i just have to get used to him because he has similar shotpower/longshots to kramaric and i score loads of those with the latter. very recommended if you want a pacey bundesliga striker and you can't affor any big cards, because he feels AT LEAST very good at everything you want your striker to be good at.

I used Werner in a 41212-2, right side next to 87 Michy. This man has unbelievable positioning for counter attacking and is the perfect get in behind striker. He reminded me exactly of that old TOTS Vardy back in the day. The problem is: Werner can't get stuff done when the box is filled with defenders. His long shots are average, even with a finisher, and his strength isn't good enough.
