Player Review
87 - Flashback SBC
WOW. What a player! He is an insane CAM/CM who has a lot of attacking presence. I have only played a few games with him (Squad Battles and Div Rivals) but he is clearly world class. Let's break this down:
PACE: Quick, but not speedy. Don't expect a Mo Salah solo run that blazes through the defense. However, you can expect incisive runs in which Gotze bursts into space.
SHOOTING: Better than the stats tell. He's no Ronaldo, but his close finishing and attack positioning come up big. He is precise and has yet to miss a sitter for me. As for 30-yard screamers, there is the off chance that they'll fly in, but don't expect it every time.
DRIBBLING: Smooth. Enough said. Hardly a stray touch that leaves him vulnerable.Those 4* skills are a nice touch as well (see what I did there?)
PASSING: I bet if I was better at FIFA, he would always have 100% accuracy. Unfortunately, I am sometimes dumb and misplace a pass. The ones he does make are perfectly weighted and slotted through on the attack.
DEFENDING: Surprisingly good. He did win several balls back up top, and his interceptions are very consistent. Don't expect any bone-crunching tackles though.
PHYSICAL: Sadly, this is somewhat of an L. The stamina is good enough for one game, but in extra time he'll be needing a sub. The strength is good enough for a CAM (but he doesn't really need it for an attacking role).
In conclusion, he is a near perfect CAM. If you need a fast counter, he'll deliver. If you want a slow buildup, he'll still deliver. The packs are a bonus as well to make back the coins you spent. It's a shame he left Bayern though.
