Player Review

93 - FOF PTG
4.0
Bang average
By gabriel182001, 19-06-2021

Since it seems like Gnabry has no reviews on here as of yet, I took it upon myself to provide some insight into how he performs and sadly, i found out that he wasn't all that. Even though his numbers for me were good, with 26 goals and 15 assists in 27 matches either at CAM or RST in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow, I was left unimpressed with the way he performed on the pitch.


First of all, the most noticeable thing about Gnabry's card is the dribbling. Perhaps it's because of his Unique bodytype, but his dribbling is really incosistent; sometimes he does incredibly fast and sharp turns, only to be followed by a horribly long touch that messes up the whole play. Because of that, I think he's suited much more to a pass-and-go playstyle. If I enjoyed one thing about his dribbling though, it was the "sticky" trait that Mbappe and Neymar are known for. He actually seems to have it as well, even though it's not as prominent as those 2, and it massively helped to bail him from the bad situations that his first touch especially put him in.


His pace is a bit weird as well. It's not bad by any means, but it doesn't feel as fast as he should. Even with a Hunter, which brings him at 94 sprint speed, he was often getting caught from behind. That's not necessarily his fault though, that's just how the game works. Gnabry's acceleration is very good though, and that at least helps him put some distance between himself and the defenders, although not for too long, because of the aforementioned sprint speed.


His shooting was really good for a change, it's probably the only thing about Gnabry that I can genuinely say is really up to par. Left, right, in the box he finished almost everything from all sorts of angles. He also has a nice finesse shot, but it's not as consistent as Dybala's, Robben's, Messi's etc.


I'm not gonna talk about his passing, because passing in this game is absolutely horrendous. It's honesly up to the FIFA Gods if your pass reaches its target or not, and all I can say is that Gnabry didn't escape their wrath either.


His physical presence is nothing special, but as I said before, him having the "sticky" really helps in 1v1s.


Obviously not gonna talk about defending, since that's not what you're buying him for.


Overall, even though it hurts to say it, Gnabry's card was simply average. His 2 positives, the shooting and the stickiness, are not enough to offset the other aspects of his card. Maybe some upgrades would help him, but I'm not planning on waiting for them, I'd rather play some other games than FIFA at this point in time. Anyway, at Gnabry's price, you can find way better options like FB Atal (even on 7 chem) which is a player I'm even now trying to figure out how to bring back in my squad. Another comparison I see is Gnabry vs FB Reus, and my answer is Reus without a shred of doubt.


Before I finish, I wanna thank anyone who read this review. It's the first review I've ever done and I hope at least some of you found it helpful. Thanks for reading, and good luck in your games!

The best Freeze SBC, without a doubt

When I first saw him he had really good stats but I expected him to be even more expensive than Wan-Bissaka. But no, at least for me it’s an absolutely amazing price, just look at him, maybe his only con is sprint speed, but that’s all. And he also has a weak link with new Volland, which seems like a really interesting and fun card to use, and it’s obviously free, so why not? I had Douglas Costa RB, so I could link hi...

Best Freeze SBC so far?

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...

The German Ben Yedder -Gamechanger

First of all, I have to say that my first Fifa was in 1998. That's why my playing style is a bit old school. My dribbling consists of slowing down and speeding up. I'm one of those guys that 14-year-olds destroy with their skills. The last Fifa I really played was Fifa 19, after which I decided to invest my time in more meaningful things. My wife surprised me with a PS5. Of course, I had to buy Fifa 2...
