Player Review
91 - Bundes POTM
I know this card seems expensive, but wow it is good. It is always risky to pay for a POTM so early, but honestly Reus' informs past 88 rated will be a lot more expensive than this SBC (side-note: I would recommend doing the gold upgrade SBC a lot to get a high rated player, I got Godin and it saved me so much money). He is one of the most fun cards to use. I have him playing CF in a 433(5). His chance creation is solid; it's not his strongest point, but still really good. Theres at least two moments in each game where he makes a run that is just so unique you have to admire the coding that went into it. His shooting is just unbelievable. I'd say he scores once in every 2 shots and the other shot goes out for a corner (which is deadly in this game as well). On that note, his set pieces are crazy. He makes free kicks good – which seems impossible in Fifa. His passing is great and he holds the ball very well. I am going to use him in a two striker formation with Werner, Lewandowski, or Sabitzer (IF), because I think that would suite his playstyle the best.
Overall, they really did a great job of capturing Marco Reus' playstyle in real life and fitting it into Fifa 19. He scores like crazy at striker and I can only imagine he'd be an assist king at CAM. Love the guy, love the card. I would, however, take into consideration that he will likely get a TOTS. If you have a lot of coins, spend them on him because TOTS is so distant from now. If you were saving up a lot, I would just hold off and maybe try his 86 inform or Lewa.
P.S. The second most expensive player in my squad is Witsel, and Reus works brilliantly in Weekend League, no need to worry about surrounding him with expensive players.

Stamina – just putting this here so I have a con, I really didn't notice any bad incidents. Plus even if his stamina depletes he will still function well given his playstyle.
