Player Review
96 - TOTS
First of all I want to say that I'm a gold 1 player, elite 3 is there but most of the time I stop at gold 3/2 with the state of this game. I used kroos all 30 games last weekend, I was pretty happy when I got him in reds cos he looks useable and he fit my team perfectly.
Pace first, he feels quicker than expected, but that's like expectations done pretty fast cuz when he actually starts running he's slow even with a boost from chemstyles. So he feels pretty quick but you notice he isn't, he's not gonna catch up to someone.
I used him as a cdm in a 442(2), sometimes 4231 and on very rare occasions a 41212(2). For this position I usually don't need anyone that can shoot. Kroos can shoot, but for me he doesn't get in that position so it was not that useful. I think he scored like 2 or 3 goals which is aight.
His Passing is like you'd expect, good, long balls, short balls, everything will do. I must say though, that, and this is probably more of a dribbling thing, he misses passes easily when coming out of a turn, he will do that way too soft pass thing where he almost falls. But mostly his passing was good.
His dribbling was good, as long as he didn't get in any tight spots. He feels super heavy, the agility is a problem with this meta. His in-game dribbling is pretty good though, just don't expect him to turn or go past any defenders. It'll do the job if you play him as a playmaker to deliver to wingers/attackers.
Defending and physical I'll do together, first the defending, if Kroos get's in the right place, he'll make a tackle for you, the getting in the right place was an issue, his medium/medium is but ideal for a cdm, I felt like he was in the wrong place while defending a LOT. Sometimes my high/high Kimmich was all alone defending ben yedder, neymar, mbappe and messi. A lot of goals I feel like were caused due to his defending positioning. His physical is good, stamina will do the job so you don't have to waste a Kent or Orsic sub on him. His strength is good and agression is a little poor although is still a bit vague what that actually does.
