90 - Headliners
I sold my 87 rated Werner a few weeks ago in order to find a better striker, but it was impossible, so when this card was released I bought it directly! He is allways in the right position and makes incrreadible runs. The sprint dribbling on the card feels like messi, 3 star skills is no problem, his ballconrol and reactions makes him feel so smooth! FInising is unreal aswell, his composure is quite low but it doesnt show to much in-game. He missed one or two sitters but since he creats so many chanses you will still score extremely much.
I really do recomend him over any other striker if you can fit him into a team, He is honestly a faster version of ronaldo without skills and strengts.
I would also recomend him in a 1 striker formation,.
I played him in fut champs and some rivals

A lot of reviews throw superlatives and pros and cons that arent specific to a certain game mode, playing style or patch which often make reviews unreliable. So im going to do my review based on the following conditions:
1. Gold 2 Player (19 wins)
2. New Patch (the no-finesse, park the bus)
3. 4231 formation with high press and fast counter attacking style.
So i bought Werner and used him for the first time in FIFA this year as i just started playing FIFA in the 2019 series (PES convert). As after the patch i was too reliant on fb Ibra like the rest of us and couldnt get the best chemistry out of him as i got georgie best, ballack, future alphonse davies and Third POTM Reus as the other players. I decided to try out Werner or fs havertz. I skipped havertz cos of his med/med work rate, and focused on Werner instead.
Werner, to put simply, is absolutely BROKENNNN.
Developers of EA must have a liking for bundesliga that they created this THING. He is, after a few months of playing FIFA 19 religiously, to me the BIGGEST GAME CHANGER there is in the game.
Currently his tally is at 28 games - 34 goals/14 assists. He is to me, the only shining light in this blackened, desolated, post patch landscape that is fifa 19. And I will never sell him. Post patch i have dropped to 1200 skill rating from 1600s within a week. Now i am back to 1600s and still climbing. On one run, winning 8 consecutive matches weekend league matches thanks to him.
His highlights include:
· High pressing - he is one of those strikers that can defend from up front, it suits him. It suits me too.
· Movement - his intelligent movements make flashback ibra's look like headless chicken.
· Dribbling - his 3* wf doesnt stop him, his ball rolls and 180 turns are almost on par with neymar.
· Finishing - i use powerful driven shot all the time with him and tho composure lacking he still finds the net 8/10
· Assists - assists inside penalty box is his secret weapon. his short passing stats are great and it shows. Mr POTM Reus feeds off his passes to score.
· Reaction - on par with Gabriel Jesus. also on par with Mr Miyagi catching a fly.
· 1 on 1 maker - the amount of times he goes 1v1 with opponent gk in games is astonishing. maybe at least 2-3 times per game he gets these chances. i cant name another who can do this.
· crossing, not really his job tho
So Werner has already netted over a century for me in 40 games, which I think is a joke.... Considering I'm usually a person who scored equal goals with my CAM and ST. He has also taken a standard Gold 2 (WL) player like myself to getting Elite for the first time (still wont pack anything thou)
First time shooting around the box goes in 90% of the time
Playing one two's and him shrugging off CB's instead of being pulled back by VVD every time
Consistent goal scorer
Dribbling is unbelievable for a ST
Fox in the Box
Passing - he messes up those 5 yard passes in tight areas so be-careful where you play with him, ideally just play the 1 and wait till he just creepin past the CB and play the through ball and thank me later
Not gonna lie, he's one of the most clinical strikers I've played with this year - miles better than POTM Reus, POTM Auba, FB Ibra (bar headers), FB Torres, FB Teves, Prime Stoichkov, etc.
Ignore the stats, 9/10 times his low driven (LB + RB + B) shots fly in.
Stats for me (87 inform):
- Appearances: 337
- Goals: 254
- Assists: 108
200+ of these appearances are subs (45+ minute).
Try him if you want a clinical low driven/power shot striker.
