87 - Flashback SBC
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
