Player Review

Hi guys! It's me again. You might remember me from the Freeze Bailey SBC. Yes, I am a Bundesliga guy, so as you'd expect, I did this SBC pretty much the moment it came out. He is the card I've been craving for. I played at striker in the 4-2-3-1 formation and he scored 10 goals in 6 games of div 4. So let's get one thing out of the way, in my last review, I said Bailey could possibly be the best bundes striker, but I was so wrong. This Gnabry does everything he does and does it better. So let's dive right into his stats and my opinion on him.

His pace might seem a bit weird at first, with 95 acceleration and 83 sprint speed, but trust me, it's so good. With the hunter chem style, he has 99 acc and 93 ss and it shows. He reaches top speed before most cb's manage to start running after him. I ran past almost every defender you can think of, even RTTF Klostermann. This time however, I came across IF Walker and he was the only one capable of keeping up with him.

His shooting is on another planet. I was praising Bailey's shooting, but he is simply so much better than him. He scores how he wants, when he wants and with both feet. The combination of 95 shot power and finishing (with the hunter) and 84 composure would lead you to believe he doesn't miss and you would be right. Finishes every chance and only missed 2 shots in those 6 games.

This isn't something I was going to write, but you need to know this. When I scored my first 2 goals with him, I thought EA did a Lautaro Martinez by swapping his preferred foot, but no. Those first 2 goals were 30 yard screamers scored with his 4* "weak" foot (which is his left) and I can tell you for a fact it's a lie. Scored 7 of 10 on his left, including a hat-trick. Definitely feels like a 5* wf.

Again, because I played him at striker, I didn't test his passing too much, but he didn't miss a single one and let's be realistic here, his passing looks phenomenal. (apart from fk accuracy, but it's not a deal breaker) . No need for improvement here.

Now comes the best part of the card: dribbling. Boy, oh boy, is his dribbling fantastic. He feels so silky on the ball, much better than Bailey which also had a boost from the finisher. The 90 agility, 92 balance, 89 reactions, 91 in-game dribbling and 87 ball control, combined with god-like acceleration make him feel almost like Messi on the ball and I'm not even kidding. Has so much fun skipping past Van Dijk and Varane. Absolutely no need to improve his dribbling either.

Bad defending and heading accuracy, but you don't buy this card for that. Would've liked more ha, but no complaints here either.

Physicality is pretty good, but not great. Had him on stay forward, so stamina wasn't an issue. Jumping is decent, but again, bad ha. Strength is also decent, doesn't get bodied easily. Aggression is not good and won't fight for the ball.

In conclusion, this has to be one of the best Freeze SBC's and if you can fit him in your team, do it, you won't regret it! Forgot to say, but he makes a very good cam or winger if you don't want to play him at striker, just slap a hunter on him.
