Player Review
94 - Summer Heat SBC
Ok, before we get going, of course he's NOT Gullit, even just because of the missing 5*WF, but let's be honest guys: this card is nicely balanced, really brings everything you could wish for (not counting the missing 4*WF) and comes at an "ok" price! He also has great links with LFC/Prem/Dutch players which is nice to have. So from the perspective of cost vs. basic stats/characteristics its a good sbc! Of course owners of other league teams might not be too happy with even more LFC players popping up (I also wished for Bundesliga content to be honest), but he's here and we can just make the most of it!
For the gameplay part: he feels solid, I mean REALLY solid. He's fast, he can dribble and feels responsive on the ball even during poor gameplay. His shooting is good, his passes always land where theyre supposed to and if you give him the Anchor Chemistry Style you can maximize his physical and defensive stats as well. His high/high work rates combined with the 99 strength are the one thing I liked the most: hes everywhere on the pitch, picking up the ball in your own half and taking it all the way forward, over and over and over and over again! He somewhat reminds me of TOTS Sabitzer, who has perfectly balanced stats too and can simply do anything on the pitch, just that this Wijnaldum has even higher increased stats and thats where the comparison with Gullit came from. There are players that are far more dangerous in front of goal and players that can defend way better, but he combines the best of each position which helps him link your backline to the attack. For the price of 140K at this point in the game its a great card and even if there are several alternatives I can completely recommend doing him.
