86 - OTW

4.0

Very Good, not great. A Div 2 player's review.

By Dovahklutch, 12-10-2020

I have other reviews from FIFA 20 if you want to check those out- I'm usually G1/E3, and I normally hang around d2/d1, though I don't play rivals as often.

Anyways, I was lucky enough to pack OTW Werner in my OTW pack.

I have around 30 games with him since I packed him. My consensus is that he's a pretty good card, but there are some major flaws with him. Let's talk about them:

Final Verdict - Would I pay market price for him? No. By the time he even gets one upgrade, more cards will be able to replicate what he gives you on the pitch as the game cycle progresses. Werner isn't unique, nor exceptional. He is pretty damn good though.

His pace is blistering. He will get behind pretty much every defensive line you throw in front of him.
His movement is pretty elite, whether you tell him to go wide or central, he will find gaps in the line. It's actually crazy how open he always is.
His finishing is solid. Not exceptional, but solid.
4* WF

He's can only do the most basic things in build-up play. Like, take a touch and give the ball back to a midfielder kinda thing. This is okay up until a certain division, when you will start needing your strikers to get more involved.
His hold-up play is trash. Even with an engine or artist card, he takes super sloppy touches, and is very slow at getting the ball out of his feet to make a pass. He misses open teammates often. Again, this is okay for a striker until a certain division, where you need them to do more.
His finishing...I listed it as a pro, but there's also a con to it: he has no shooting traits! This is BRUTAL in high divisions because you don't get many chances against some of these defenses and every chance matters. There have been multiple times where if Werner had a "finesse shot" or "outside the foot" shot trait that he'd a scored a hatrrick no problem.
What ends up happening is that you get clear chances, on goal, but sometimes need to take a finesse or need to drive it home because the window to shoot is so short...only for Werner to take some half-assed finesse right at the keeper. It takes his finishing from elite to only good.

Timo Werner

brilliant.

well, I don't have a lot to say about him, because I have played only 12 games with him. but in those 12 games, he was nothing but phenomenal ( all division rivals, division 3 ). he scored 17 goals and assisted 4 more. I think everyone knows how cracked he is in game.at the start of the game ( September - November ) , everyone used him and for some players he was a club legend. and now he is better than ever. his pace is se...

Timo Werner

Turbo Timo

Timo is a goal scoring machine in early FIFA 21 FUT, and I don't see why he won't be an issue for FUT teams all game long. Once you see Timo trying to making a run just send a through ball and watch him go to work. It amazing how some players just play amazing in game and get certain animations. I tried Richarlison and Rodrigo prior to sniping a Timo when he was extinct, and they really don't compare at all. You just feel t...
