Player Review
97 - Summer Stars SBC
Hi! I was so happy when he saw this SBC, because I think he's a cool player and his card looks absolutely insane. I'm using him with the Basic Chem style since his Accelaration is already 99 and I don't need the defending to be insane with essien behind him. I don't think the player feels like 95 pace more like 102 pace. The only midfielder that's quicker is Acuna FOF. His shot is insane. Not his finishing though which is 88 and you can feel that so if you wanna use the Hunter go for it. But I have to say that his longshots are really good since you can feel the 99 shot power. His 4* weak foot didn't really bother me while playing. Another thing I absolutely love about the card is the way he shields the ball. In midfield he rarely gets outbodied. Though he rarely uses his body to get an opponent off the ball. Now to his dribbling. I would say his dribbling's incredible. You could compare his dribbling to Tagliafico's. But I gotta admit that his reactions (99) are off sometimes. Kimmich's defending was mostly good and I thought his Interceptions and man marking were very impressive. The tackling wasn't always clean which forced me to redo the tackle with my CDM. I don't think the anchor would make a difference here. So if you're planning on playing him as only CDM that might be a problem. There was one thing I was really disappointed of and that was his Passing. When I looked at the stats I believed I would get on point passing like Xavis or Pirlo's but this wasn't the case. The passing didn't impress me at all and I would say it's kinda annoying if he's your playmaker. Still in the end I would say he's an incredible player with a price and if you still got SBC fodder than you should certainly get him.
