Player Review
91 - Icon
As an older one among the FIFA players, when I was a teenagerI watched Miro Klose starting his career at Kaiserslautern (I live near there, so I oftenly went there watching football live, even though I'm not a Kaiserslautern supporter) and he always has been one of my favourite Players. He is Germany's all-time top goal scorer, the all-time World Cup top goal scorer and World Champion 2014 in Brazil.
So I was very excited that he is now an icon in FIFA.
I first bought his 89 card, which already exceeded my expactations in terms of heading and finishing and surprised me with speed, strength and agility. But his prime card is simply another step above. He is fast... I honestly dont remember that he was so fast in real life. You can feed him with through-passes and finish with both feet. The card says he has 4* WF but it feels like 5. His passing is very solid for a striker, you can use him as a target man, he will forward the ball to your other offensive players. He is not as strong as Lukaku and not as agile as Messi, but he is a very good mix of both.
If you were looking for someone you can score with from corners and cant afford CR7, stop looking, Klose is your man! I score many near-post headers from corners with him (sure, not every single one can go in), I think in terms of heading he is one of the best players in the game.
His finishing in the box is absolutely great, he easily makes 9/10 clear chances from time to time some not so clear chances ;). As I mentioned, dont care about the weak foot, he also scores with his left. You can also try volleys and direct shots with him, he will convert lots of them. Long story short, if he is in a good position, give him the ball and go for a shot!
Although his long shot stats are not the best, he sometimes scores from outside the box with timed finesse shots from good spots.
His stamina is enough to play a full game including extra time, but that also depends on your play style (I always substitude my 3 CAM).
As a striker, his defending doesn't really matter, but he also wins headers on defensive corners.
Only the 3* skill moves can be a con, but only if really need 4* on your striker. For me personally is it only important for my wingers. I sometimes do heel to heel or roulette with him and it feels very fluent and never clumsy.
From my side Miro Klose prime is clearly a buying recommandation! If you cant afford the prime, get the 89, he is like 90% of the prime.
