Player Review
88 - Normal
I wanted to buy a player who had excellent shooting ability, someone who could dribble past most defenders effortlessly and also send his teammates in with good passing. Reus was a player who definitely fitted this description. I played him at RS (In 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow) along with Werner and Kainz and with Thorgan Hazard and Serge Gnabry offering width. He was a monster. His finishing is out of this world, he gets into the right positions and is pacy enough (with hunter chemistry). In 18 games of FUT Divisions (Division 5), he got 9 goals and 14 assists, which I found quite phenomenal. He scored many last minute winners and equalisers for me and pops up in the box when it matters.
He tracks back well when I played him with the tactic, 'Come back on defence', and he also makes good movement. Using the 'Drift Wide' instruction on him makes him dangerous.
- Shooting: Excellent shots, good power.
- Dribbling: He can dribble past most defenders in a one on one situation unless they are very fast.
- Movement: Gets into great positions to score.
- Passing: He can pick out a teammate with a through ball and link up play with good short passing.
- Versatile: Play him as ST, CF, CAM or even CM, this guy is a beast.
- Pace: Sometimes feels underpowered, even with 'Hunter' chemistry style. Fast defenders like Joe Gomez can catch him.
- Strength: While it is certainly not the worst, it certainly can irritate you as he gets knocked off the ball or sometimes loses it easily on the turn.
- Long Passing: His long passing is average. You shouldn't rely on him while switching play as sometimes his passes go astray.
- Stamina: His stamina is not great. He runs out of gas by the 75th minute if you're running him up and down. Keep a quick-sub ready.
