What a player!!
By Mike24321, 30-03-2019

I have a bundesliga dominated team and have struggled all year to find the "perfect" striker for a reasonable price.. I've played with Lewandowski, Werner 1IF, Jovic 2IF, Joelington FFS and 88 Reus.. each have different qualities but I needed a striker to have it all.. pace, strength, heading and finishing.. there came Esswein!

  • Defending - if you want to defend from the front Esswein is the man! The amount of times I've managed to intercept the ball from the opposition with this guy is ridiculous!
  • Pace - without any boosts he is very fast and manages to get in behind the opposition with ease
  • Physicality - perfect combination of aggression, strength and jumping.. absolute beast upfront
  • Passing - 84 passing is very good for a striker especially if you're into quick one two's
  • Dribbling - His dribbling and reaction is phenomenal especially for a quite big striker but he lacks balance that could easily be sorted with a sniper chem style
  • More than a Striker - My strikers tend to have the most stamina every game so I prefer to put them at CAM and bring on a fresh striker and what a player Esswein is at CAM.. can hold up play.. pass the ball with ease and get into the box for headers!


  • 3 star 3 star - Luckily for me I'm not into doing skill moves so this might cause a problem for anyone that prefers to do skill moves
  • Shooting - His shooting stats without any boosts are not great especially for this time of the year but this could easily be sorted with a sniper chem style making his finishing OP

You can't ißt wein.

Well, I really just needed a striker to replace Joelinton, as he didn't play well for me anymore and I was complete done with him. When I saw his sbc, I thought, just like everyone did 'bad ig's'. No. No. Just don't. I got him just because I was done with Joelinton, I thought he couldn't be worse. I spent about 70k on his sbc, because I got a lot of untradeables I don't use. In my first game, against a friend, he scored 2 g...

fine stats, foul ingame

I was very exciting about playing Esswein, because I'm a big VFB Stuttgart fan. Sadly there was by now just one playable Stuttgart player avaible (Pavard).I got more and more excited as I saw his card stats. It was'nt thinking twice about completing the sbc, altough with 200k it is very expensive.I thought that I will have a massive offensive with Werner and Esswein.It di...
