90 - FUT Birthday

4.5

Dominant in Midfield

By ogld, 16-04-2020

When Havertz became available for the FUT Birthday promo, I decided to have a go with him. He was a really solid player in FIFA 19, so I expected that he would be able to deliver in this edition. He certainly did so. I played Havertz as a CAM with an Engine chem style. Havertz controls the midfield fairly easily - his dribbling is much improved by an Engine chem style, and he is able to distribute the ball to any part of the pitch with perfect weight. If he has the space, he is also easily able to finish anything at the top of the box. While many people will be turned off by his pace, an engine chem style brings his acceleration up to 87 and his sprint speed up to 99. When he hits his stride, he is FAST. His strength and body style also really helps if he has to chase a through ball or hold up play - he is a fairly solid player.

One other thing that I would like to note about this card is his price. For a player that is (in my opinion) pretty much on par with Headliners Reus, he is very affordable. While Reus is roughly 1.5 million, Havertz is currently sitting at ~350k. That is a great bargain if you aren't willing/able to pay for Reus.

Overall - I'm a really big fan of this card, and I think he would work as a great lynchpin midfielder in any Bundesliga/hybrid teams. I would recommend giving him a go if you enjoyed his card from last year.

Pace - his acceleration isn't fantastic. However, once he hits his top speed, he is remarkably fast for a tall player.

Shooting - you can really see the impact of the "finesse shot" and "outside foot shot" traits here. He was picking out shots from the top of the box no problem. The five-star weak foot is also helpful - you can cut to either foot to have a crack at goal.

Passing - with an engine, his passing is absolutely brilliant. He is an excellent central distributor.

Dribbling - the engine chem style seems to improve his dribbling a good bit - he actually feels pretty smooth on the ball. Left-stick dribbling is solid and his skill moves come off pretty easily.

Physical - He has enough strength to hold up the ball and play the all back, if needed.

Defending - don't count on him to do anything spectacular here. He can win headers in midfield but that's about all.

Physical - his aggression lets him down at times if you try to use him at striker - I would definitely keep him as an attacking midfielder. I also noticed that his stamina seems to last him to the 85th-90th minute - but he definitely needs a sub after that.

Thought i would get a review of him up as soon as possible as im sure there are a number of people eagerly waiting to buy him. I've been longing for a CAM in the 4-2-3-1 who has the 5* wf and great passing. I was originally going to get SIF KDB however when I saw this man in fut birthday, memories of his future stars card were brought back to the forefront of my mind. I just had...
