When I saw the Future Stars Promo, I was immediately drawn to this card. I was lucky enough to pack him in a 100k pack and immediately put him in my team as he fit perfectly. He has perfect all around stats for a Box to Box CM but can also drop back to CDM if needed. The major thing that stuck out to me is his speed. Having high agility, balance and acceleration, Guendouzi is an absolute rapid player that is a very quick center mid to use. His passing is exceptional with a mixture of short and long passes due to the perfect weight he puts on the passes to get them into the hard to reach places. I found that his interceptions is his key defensive stat as he was able to poach the loose balls with ease. He will not be a tank of a CM like some of the stronger players in the game but was never really pushed off the ball easily. He has crazy ball control and is able to keep the ball close to him to stay composed under pressure. I also found that, even though his attack positioning stat was very low, he was able to be in position for passes where he needed to be. Finally, all of this culminates with Guendouzi's long shots. If he is given enough space, the mix of shot power and long shots is insane and will most likely score you many goals. Overall, Guendouzi is one of the best CM's I've used this year because in game he is an all around monster on the pitch.
Pace (Very agile player that can beat defenders on a run into space and also chase down attackers on defense)
Shooting (Long Shot machine from many positions from distance. His finishing is subpar if in the box but can make some of the close range shots)
Passing (Perfect passer, is able to put the ball in the tough to reach places with ease with the right power as to not overpower the pass too far)
Dribbling (Very composed player, he can hold the ball close to make quick cuts around the defender)
Defending (Most impressive stat is his interceptions of the ball, can make the cracking tackles to stop attacks and has good defensive positioning)
Physical (Stamina seems to drain quicker than usual but is able to finish a full 90 mins at a high production value)
Height (Taller than most players on this game and paired with his jumping will land you a lot of headers to be won)
3 star skills (The only downside to his dribbling is the inability to pull off the meta skill moves this year)
Strength (Not as strong as assumed and would have liked him as a more strong tanky player but is not easily pushed off the ball)
M/M work rates (Sometimes may be hesitant to attack or slow to come back on defense if a box to box mid)
Price (One of the more expensive Future Stars cards but is worth the money if you can afford him)
For me as the big fan of Arsenal this card was must buy for me. This review is general as if from player fifa.
I bought him for 500k and i dont regret any single penny. I played with him in 3rd division and I love this card. I play him as cdm a long side with matuidi. He is so fast, that he can catch up with anyone even with TOTY cards. When he is somewhere around the box you can just take a shot with his 94 long shots. At defending he is way better than 79 on his card with anchor he is on 87 defending and he is just awesome. His dribling is good as well and awesome for midfielder. The worst part of this card is propably his sprint speed but you can fix it with chem styles like anchor or shadow.
If you are wondering about who to buy betwene pogba, kante or guendouzi just go for guendouzi you wont regret it. He can play anywhere in midfielder cm, cdm or cam.
- Box to box
- Acceleration
- Shots from long range
- Passing
- Dribling
- Physicality
- Defending-perfect with anchor
- Easy to link him
- Nothing really he is the perfect CM
- Sprint speed-but you can fix it with chem. styles
A Bit of Backstory
I'm guessing if you are reading this review, you are thinking about investing in this card. For me, as an Arsenal fan, when I saw this card come out in December, (or January, I can't remember), I had to save up for him. Being the Division 5, Silver 1 player that I am, I knew that I would have to be patient, especially with his price being 500k at the time. I had to save up, and with also doing the Ramsey EOAE SBC and a couple of Carniball players (as you can see through my squad link), it took me longer than I hoped. But it was definitely worth the wait!
I have had a few different teams throughout the year, (https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/2958489) (https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/6371372) (https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/5946085) and (https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/4761919) to show you a few. And as you can see, I have had the likes of De Bruyne, Fabinho, Doucoure, Kante, Mkhitaryan and more which I have used as midfielders. But I never had the "perfect CM", with the ability to drop back and defend, and also bring the ball forward to ignite an attack. De Bruyne and Mkhitaryan were too attacking, Kante and Fabinho didn't have good enough Passing and shooting, and Doucoure was just too "truck like" on the ball, although he is definitely a player I would recommend for a CDM role.
Then I had enough coins to buy Guendouzi (about 3 weeks ago). Let's get into the review...
Review
(N.B, I am not a fan of stats in FIFA, I think they can be very misleading, so I will tell you how this man feels in-game, rather than showing the numbers)
As a CM, this guy will only improve your squad. He is a great box-to-box player. he has a great range of passing, great defensive work, and his positioning is incredible! The only let-down for this position is that he seems to be very tired towards the last 15 minutes or so at the end of the game. Of course, this can be fixed easily through custom tactics.
As a CDM (which is where I currently use him), he is incredible! I know that you may feel it is a waste of his great attacking stats, but I feel his defence is very good, and when he picks up the ball he can dribble very nicely before setting off a pass to a winger or striker!
As a CAM, he is not at his best. His defence is wasted, although is nice when you when the ball back high into your opposition's half. Also, his passing isn't quite good enough for a CAM. Once again, this can be sorted out with a Catalyst Chemistry Style.
Speaking of chemistry styles, I would recommend Anchor for CDM, Powerhouse for CM, and Catalyst for CAM. But, it all depends on what your play-style is like.
Just another Note
I was actually lucky enough to meet and have a photo with Guendouzi. I am a big Arsenal fan. If you are also an Arsenal fan, I would advise you definitely save up for this man!
Also, please drop a like, I don't get any money from this, but I appreciate the support! I got 363 likes on a review on Casemiro I did, so if we can match that, then thankyou!
And drop a comment, I will answer any questions that you have!
-Pace is very good, amazing if you use the right chemistry style! It is on par with those like Lacazette, Asensio, and Carvajal! It is not always necessary as a midfielder, but can be great in certain situations!
-Dribbling is great, very well-rounded, and I have had no problems at all with it. It's obviously not as good as a winger's dribbling, but he feels very smooth and agile on the ball, which reflects his real-life performance.
-Shooting is amazing! His long shots can fly in top-bins so easily! His finishing inside the box isn't always great, but is so much better than someone like Kante or Doucoure, and I would say better than Pogba's!
-Passing is also very good, as you would expect! He can find a pass anywhere, and even his long passing will surprise you!
-Defending is as good as Kante's! His interceptions are especially good, which I know is also down to his positioning! His tackles are very good and he rarely fouls the opponent trying to win the ball!
-Physicals are more than good enough! He is obviously not the strongest man on the pitch, but he has good stamina, good strength, and good agression.
-Link-ability is 5/5, 100%. A French Premier League player that can get links with Mbappe, Aguero, and strong links with Aubameyang and the RTTF Mkhitaryan can not have less link-ability than 5/5!
-A good way to describe this card is "not amazing in anything particular, but great all-round"
-Price
-Free kick accuracy isn't great, but it doesn't matter
So first of all i was looking for a cdm/cm box to box midfielder for my team next to my prime ballack. Since Ballack is staying back while attacking i was looking for a more box to box type of player. I had to go with either a French, Brazil or Icon CDM/CM. I had like 1mil to spend. I read some comments on futbin and most of them were not too good to be fair, but nevertheless i tried him out , and i am sooooo happy i did it , cuz this guy is one of the best midfielders i have ever used ( and yes i used player like vieira , gullit baby etc) he reads the play perfectly for me and is basically a ngolo kante but he can shoot and win headers.
He is the perfect box to box player cuz he can do everything and his workrates are not a big deal, i didnt notice anything of it.
Good all rounder, can win headers
Is quick enough
Shotpower
Passsing
He is better then baby gullit
maybe his 3* WF is a con of him cuz sometimes he is not the best with his weakfoot.
His workrates is not a con for me ( in the formation i used him in )
