Player Review
86 - IF
I received this Werner from my gold 2 rewards, and built a pretty cool team with him for this weekend league. I was worried about his 3* skill moves and his low passing stats, especially since he was replacing my baby Baggio as Eden hazard ST partner in a 41212(2).
I played 6 Div2 rivals games with him, as well as my 30 weekend league games (Gold1 20/30). He has 36 goals and 20 assists in those 36 games, with 0 penalty.
I put a Hawk on him, and he feels amazing in game. His shooting is incredible, he finishes with such power, often finding the top corner. He is also really fast, and surprisingly, his dribbling feels really good. His first touch is great, really making a difference in the box, and his passing has been pretty reliable, definitely better than what his card stats suggest.
I play him as Right ST in a 41212 (2) with Hazard as the other ST and Okocha as CAM, and they all feel really good together, but Werner stole the show inside the box, while the others struggled a bit more.
Overall, I am really glad that I got him from my Fut Champs picks this early in the game, as I see him be a starter in my team for many weeks. I was worried his passing would be a deal breaker, but I never noticed him missing a pass that I felt he shouldn't. Maybe the next update will change that review, but as of now, he is 5/5.
- Pace: he is really fast, and also strong enough to resist against defenders a lot of the time
- Shooting: very reliable in front of goal, as well as some long shots really helped securing the wins in some close games
- Dribbling: feels smooth on the ball, really great first touch
- 3* Skill Moves
