87 - Flashback SBC
4.5
Pretty damn good, but...
By Spyle, 06-11-2018

Quick review, so that you guys know Gotze SBC is WORTH doing it, but you will not make a team around him

Games: 13

Goals: 5

Assists: 3

Position: CM

Chem: Hawk


Pace (81): he feels no faster than 81 (had to apply hawk chem, otherwise could only run past kross)


Shooting (84) : He is not as clinical as firminho, cavani, lewa, nor he is IF SUSO with finesse shots. Nevertheless, it won't disappoint you, as his IG shooting is still better than a lot of strikers. With Hawk, his shot power (88) really helps scoring those outsidetheboxes even without finesse.


Passing (87): Worse than eriksen, better than most, Here, I have to dissect this stat as his Short Passing (91) feels exactly what it is. I've seen some great passes from tight places from him. Crossing (81) is a new meta in fifa19, but he can't deliver exceptional crosses that you would think of when you look at 87 passing. Long passes (85) is also quite good, but not as OP in fifa 19, and it balances his stat IG. OP Crossing (81) = Not so OP Long Passing (85) both not good enough His vision (91) helps him see those runs, but he fails to deliver a proper ball for a volley, or a game changing pass.


Dribbling (89): He is extremely slippery on the ball and can push himself through defs. Great in tight spaces. Acceleration helps a lot. However, I believe gomez has a great dribbling, (88), and Gotze is nowhere near him IG. He better holds the ball in tight places, but when it comes to speedy moves, he feels more like 82.


Defending (64) probably because he is so slippery, he often wins balls back right after the loss. Not a defender by any means.


Physical (70): His strength (71) does feel below 80. He will never push off players of the ball, nor he can hold to them for more than 2 sec (which still can be very useful). The biggest problem here is his height.


  • His dribbling is great, but there are better dribblers IG with 88-90 dribbling stat.
  • he is a great compact CAM, that can hold up the ball in tight places (due to his dribbling) giving your forwards time to make a run. Then makes pretty good passes and runs in open spaces.


  • He is still great, but not the player that you want to make a team around. Definitely worth doing SBC, as you get from 50-60% on return from packs (if you are extremely unlucky) to even making a good profit.


Shot power and long shots feel higher IG, can score easy moment out of the box

He is deadly in the box (no headers) and can even be a threat outside of the box.

Make sure you use his curves and volleys


  • His height and low strength could give you a hope that he is quick, but this is not true

WORLD CLASS

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 ...

Pretty Good

This card is 100k, but for many people it will be cheaper if they have invested or whatever. I'm not sure I would pay full price even though I run a BL side, but I would value him at around 70K. I played about 10 Weekend League games with this card at CAM and I have to say it is really solid. He feels different than you would expect, but you can get used to his card within the first game or so. If you get him and don't like...
