Player Review
90 - FUT Birthday SBC
Such a fun card I had to drop a review on him. Title says it all, he is a very good card and similar to Neymar in a lot of ways. Neymar has the advantage in agility and some dribbling skills but Ozil gets him in other stats. I would say the biggest reason Neymar is still ahead is the 5 star skill moves which is a pretty big deal for beating defenders. I think we have all seen how overpowered Neymar is this year, so I don't want anyone thinking I don't understand that. But geez is this Ozil card still amazing. I use him mostly as a striker and 5* weakfoot just makes him so clinical infront of goal with the finesse trait. His dribbling stats seem a little low but on the ball he just glides and it is not an issue. I went ahead and stuck with Hunter chem after testing alot of them out. I would honestly say I'd rather use hawk before engine on him, since it makes his long shooting cracked but I always found myself using Hunter again, maybe because I don't usually do too many long range shots anyway. His stamina is a bit low at 83, which is honestly the only down side to the card. Even at ST he gets a bit tired at the end of the game, and he might not be someone who makes it to the end of OT in FUT champs but if you have used Neymar it's not as bad. The stam really is the worst part because he is so much fun you always want to use him. Not tragically bad, I found myself subbing other players off first who have 90 stam in other positions, but definitely something to note. Overall has been one of the best SBC's EA has given us and although I originally thought I would like Podolski better, Ozil has been stealing the show for me and I can't see a reason I would drop him from my team.
5* weakfoot
Silky on the ball
Passing
Shooting
Stam
Not the best body type to hold the ball up, even with str boosted to 80
