Player Review

87 - SIF

2.5

Sorely Disapointed

By Unleashed93, 06-12-2018

Well here it goes... the first negative review on a player that has been getting rave reviews by everyone on this site. Clearly my experience is different than others who have reviewed before me, but I wanted my honest take on the lad to be heard. I love watching Werner in real-life; he is so fast, stronger than he would look, and is such a clever finisher for Leipzig. I was left saddened by how he performed with the pressure on (Division 3 Online Rivals). For a striker that costs greater than 200k, you would expect a dynamic game-changer, which is not what I received. I played him in 2 striker systems next to POTM Aubameyang (4-2-2-2 & 4-1-2-1-2). Pierre had to carry him each and every game. I used sniper, hawk, and marksman chem styles, all of which made little difference. I'll go into more detail below.

PACE (Sort of): The card shows 95 pace, but he felt around 88-89 pace. POTM Aubameyang and POTM Lucas feel much faster and agile. 88 pace is still quick enough for me in my opinion, but by no means was Werner running by defenders.

PASSING: For 72 passing, his passing felt quite good. I'd say it felt more around 80. I was pleasantly surprised by his build-up play.

DRIBBLING: I'll this this as a pro as I felt 85 dribbling was very accurate. Nothing too fancy, but doesn't take donkey touches either.

HEADING: I felt his heading was quite solid. I don't cross the ball often as I play slower build-up play through the middle, but he did score a couple from corners.

PHYSCIAL: His 61 strength shows in game. Do not get bodied or attempt to hold off powerful centre-backs. He will get pushed off quite easily.

SHOOTING: (Where do I start). He is statistically the most disappointing striker I've used this year. Extremely inconsistent, missed loads of great opportunities and never made any difficult chances either. He always favored his right foot, even with a 4 star left. For every goal he achieved for me he would miss 4-5 great chances. For a 200k striker, that is unacceptable. For comparisons sake: In the 20 games(Div 3 Rivals) I played with Werner, my club averaged 3.7 goals per game. Werner only scored 4 goals in those 20 games and assisted 6. In my opinion that is not worth the coins.

Fantastic

FUT Birthday is upon us and Timo Werner has become the first SBC player of the promo. I used his headliners card earlier in the year when he became 89 and was not fully impressed with the card. The passing boost due to his RW position change makes him look so much better for a hold up 1-2 pass then run on the the ball player. I ran him in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) next to Prime Butragueno and POTM hazard at CAM for an all around dead...

IF Timo Werner The Best Striker I used so far!!!

Werner is an absolute beast he never disappoints me in the most important situations, he is very good in front of goal and can really trouble the defenders even though he has 3* skills.His key stats are finishing and pace, I can say one thing about those two thing...BROKEN.Even though he has 90 finishing he practically never misses in front of goal, and his pace is OP one through ball and he in a 1v1 with the ...

SIF Werner, the counter attacking sniper

I've only played 11 games so far with him yet (get in behind, press back line I think).He scored 7 goals and 11 assists against good players (a div 3 player in 4 friendlies and div 4-5 matches).I play him with a sniper chemistry style to increase his composure, and that makes him more 'snappy' imo as well.
