87 - Flashback SBC

5.0

Worth Twice As Much As The SBC

By Air Goodman, 06-11-2018

I have had a Bundesliga squad all year and I skipped out on completing the Marco Reus POTM SBC because I figured that he will probably be getting another 2-3 TOTW'S and a TOTS. However, when I saw this Gotze SBC go live I knew I was going to complete it regardless of the price. The SBC itself ended up being fairly cheap for just about any flashback player but especially for a player of Mario's quality!

I have just wrapped up using Gotze in all 30 FUT Champs games and feel that I can now provide a quality review of his In-Game performance.

There are a few traits about this card that really catch your eye right from the start - Elite passing & dribbling, 4 star skills, 4 star weak foot. For just about any CAM or CF that's exactly what you're looking for if you're going to play the most competitive modes that FIFA can offer. I chose to apply a Hunter chemistry card to him because I felt that if he could be just that little bit quicker he would be extremely effective right behind Timo Werner and Lewandowski. I can't lie...I was spot on.

Apply a Hunter card to Gotze and you're looking at a Pace rating of 90 to go along with 88 Shooting. Insane!

Keep in mind that this Gotze, regardless of any chem style you place on him, has base stats that feature such gems as:

Better Positioning, Volleys, Short/Long Passing, Balance, Ball Control, Composure, Defending, Strength, and Aggression than Dybala and TOTW Reus.
Better Positioning, Finishing, Volleys, and all Passing categories than both Mertens and Gabriel Jesus.
Higher Dribbling in all 5 categories than both Martial (Except "Dribbling" +2) and Ozil.

In-Game Summary

Gotze felt quick, especially laterally. His sprint speed was plenty to get by most Weekend League defenders and do some serious damage in the final 3rd. The fact that Mario has the Finesse Shot trait makes him absolutely deadly just outside the box when he utilizes his 90 Positioning (95 with Hunter). He always seemed to find the right space and make the perfect run after a 1-2 with Werner or Lewandowski. There were plenty of times where I attempted low driven crosses with either Kimmich or Alaba and I swear Gotze was able to just have that ball become glued to his foot and gather himself for an unstoppable far corner shot with his 91 Finishing.

Conclusion

A joy to use in the Weekend league and a refreshing item to pick up for those of us with Bundesliga teams. I don't pan on replacing him from my CAM spot for a long time this season. Honestly he was worth at least twice the amount that the SBC ended up costing me. Love it!

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...
