As a Man City fan I voted for Gundogan and did him straight away but not only was this deserved, but he's pretty good in game. There aren't too many good premier league CM's apart from pogba and wijnaldum so i wanted to try Gundogan. Not only that but he is the cheapest Prem POTM that has come out, so if you have a prem team he is a perfect fit. He is overall a very nice card and weekend league ready. He played as a LCM in the 4-1-2-1-2(2) with Kante at CDM and Wijnaldum at RCM. I have also used 87 Red IF Pogba and thought that Ikay was almost as good.
Dribbling - On the ball he feels very agile despite only having 80 agility and his body feints are also great
Passing - He rarely ever misses a pass and plays very good through balls
Defending - His interceptions are very good and he mostly wins the ball with every tackle
Physicality - His strength is good enough for his position
Pace - Could be a bit faster but as a CM he doesn't need it as much
Stamina - The worst part about the card is that he gets very tired within 70 mins and you probably need to sub him off
I'll start of by saying this, he may have the fakest passing stats on all of fifa 21. Obviously you will think "he will have good passing with 91 short passing" but ingame his passes are pixel perfect. Every kind of pass he does is on point. I am a city fan so obviously i was going to do this card as soon as i saw 83 squad. But i did him just because it was gundogan and is one of my idols with kdb but i was sooo surprised when i used him and he was this good. His dribbling is fantastic and even with the agility and balance hes fine. You know he's going to be big ingame but genuinely if anything that has helped him. He normally has just 77 strength but ingame he feels like he has +10 that. His interceptions are very solid and his long shots are exactly what you'd expect from this guy and his 4* wf is a lie, has a 4.5*. What a card for only 50k this guy is. The only flaw I think that means much is his stamina. But just sub him off 70th minute? Its really not a big deal whatsoever.

Sometimes finishing isn't amazing
(Sorry for the bad english) I tried this card for fun as i am a gundogan fan and i must say for the price it is really strong. I played 5 games with him (div 3) and I noticed that he always has the position he defends and attacks well and sets up the game with excellent passes, even if from the stats he does not seem very agile and has a good shot, moreover he can send the forwards well on goal, highly recommended.

I saw this SBC come out on friday and thought, lets take him for a run in WL. He is reasonably priced, as he is not one of the most amazing cards in the game. So far i have played 7 games with him as a CM in a 442 formation, he is a solid player not to amazing, but not rubbish either.
With a catalyst, he is really quite good, he makes those passes like kevin de bruyne and is really good at long balls. His dribbling is superb, and its very hard to get the ball off him once he has it.
You will have to replace him at about the 70" mark, as he can't stay on the pitch for long, however, the time he is on the pitch is worth it.
At this point in the year, he is way behind the so called "Power curve" but if you enjoy using fun players and trying out new things then go for it!
Here is the squad i used him in: https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/6118048

Waking up to see Silky Ilkay getting a POTM was a dream as a City fan. Great performances throughout the month and many wins, but is he FIFA ready? I tried him in a 532 alongside Baby Zidane and Mid Seedorf. I used get forward and cover center on him. To get the negative out of the way he does have bad stamina, he needs to be subbed out by the 70th every game. Besides that, he was surprisingly good. His passing was class, rivaled Zidane and POTM Bruno. Also, he felt great on the ball agility and balance were no problem. He also has great shooting and was perfect for me in Div 3. I would do him if you are on a budget or if you are a City fan. Thanks for reading!

Pace (not bad with a shadow)
First off he is only an 83 squad with a totw which is 50k coins so the value is great. i played cdm in a 4-2-3-1 he was solid and great at getting the ball as with the shadow chem style he has 90 interceptions. he short and long pass is very good and pairs well with the 4* 4* so he is good at getting an attack started. His dribbling is very solid and he feels good on the ball. His obvious downfalls are his pace and stamina. The pace is still not the fastest with shadow but isnt the slowest either. He will not last past 70 mins as a box to box and wont last past 90 as a holding midfielder. overall i would say complete the SBC if you have the means too as he is very cheap and is 86 rated meaning if you dont like him you can use as fodder.

He's a very strong six or eight.
Also easily linkable because of Germany from the Premier League.
He has very strong passing values and good dribbling values.
Unfortunately, the pace values are not so good as, for example, with other six or eight.
This guy has got to be the best sbc you can do right now, for 46k you get one of the most complete midfielders there is. I used Pogba before him, and they're both very similar. However, out of the two i'd pick Gundogan every time. I was kind of unimpressed with him at first, his skill moves were awful, and he could lose the ball too easily, not exactly an attacking player. However, I looked at the card closer and played him differently. I used left stick dribbling more often and he was so silky, he could get past the best defenders with a few touches. His passing was superb, almost better than De Bruyne's, and he would make all kinds of runs into the box, and finish from anywhere. He's also decent at defending too! If you're still thinking about him, do it. By far the best cm I've ever used, and the low low price makes it even sweeter.
left stick dribbling is incredible
Passing is out of this world
Can finish from anywhere
Slow sometimes, but not a problem when you play him as a pure cm, and his intelligent runs make up for it
Loses stamina like crazy, make sure you have a decent back up for him halfway through the second half.
I did this SBC just to try him out and get a review for him. However he is very cheap indeed but he isn't a game changer or a player that can change your team drastically. He deserved this POTM but he just isn't usable tbh
4 start 4 star
has stats very rounded to 80

He's a good player let's be real but he isn't worth the sbc price tag while you can get better players instead
doesn't have stats that stand out, very normal
