Reviews

Hello futbin users. I have never done a player review before, but i saw that theres no reviews under this card, and having played him in WL, i wanted to share my opinion. Also, if it matters im a Div 1 player. First of all, what i like most about him is his tackling and strenght, he doesn't mess around and will bully small attackers. Him being 6'1 also helps, he has quite an agressive tackle style. His accceleration is a bit questionable, its one of the most important stats for defenders this year, so i suggest you use a shadow on him. His dribbling isnt bad, altough having used showdown acuna before he does feel a little clunky, so if you want to use him as a offensive fullback you have to take it into consideration. But his 5* skills really help going forward, so i got used to this kind of full back very quickly. To summarize - i think for the price your getting him, he's a really quality option if he fits into your team, so i'd recommend trying him as he's very cheap.

I have never written a review, not even about my favourite players that I fell in love with, but this guy was such a surprise I knew this would be my first time

I have bought this card in the place of Alphonso Davies, someone whom I never thought I would change because he was just too good, for his price and rating as well. But then,

came this absolute legend by the name of Christian Günter. Because of my awful defensive skills, I have never wanted my fullbacks to run up the pitch during my attacks, but this guy

made me do so many one-twos that I even surprised myself. He can run between the goal lines all game so rapidly it is incredible. He can catch up to any pace merchant your meta abuser opponent is spamming through balls to, his height allows him to win some headers even with his bad jumping, and he gets assists from crosses for breakfast. More of these in the pros-cons section. But if you hesitate on buying this beast, just like me on every single card I buy, don't. You will not regret this.

I have tried Gunter last week and now is irreplaceable. I tried him in my 4-2-2-2 (not as CB) and he's very good! With Kehrer SBC he play very weel.

His pace is amazing, the 5* skills make this player funny to use and his crosses are remote controlled. He defend really good and he do a lot of autoblocks .

Hey guys, have now played a bunch of games with this Gunter card as a CB. I play him on 7 chem next to Lars Bender, both as CB. What drew me to the card wasn't his 5 star skills moves but the rest of his stats.90 str and 92 aggression, with his height/body type make for a great CB. I was using SIF Shaw for a while as a CB and I loved everything about that card except I'm starting to realize that having a shorter CB means they miss out on a lot of autoblocks, which we have to face is really important this year. A lot of the prem/bundesliga CB's that are tall and fast are very expensive and compared to Gunter make him a great value. I wasn't too fussed about having his acceleration at 99 with 7 chem, but knowing you could get it maxed on full chem is sweet. I think right around 92-95 is a sweet spot for CB's and having 99 sprint speed makes it so that players can't just skip past him and run down the whole field. 80 for agy/balance doesn't seem like a lot, but for a CB is actually very premium. The only thing he doesn't have that I would have liked would be the dives into tackle trait, but without it he still never misses a challenge. I noticed right away he was getting a better success rate in tackles than even Lars which might be down to a higher aggression. Him being left footed really helps when distributing the ball and they did sneaky upgrade his wf to 3 stars, which for a cb can save you from some awkward situations. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to have 5* skill moves. It can really help get you out of high pressure situations but I never felt comfortable enough to try and string tricks with him in the back, just a one trick and pass kind of man because he lacks the agility to do them quickly. I was very very very worried that since his heading/jumping stats are only around 70 he would be a fraud in the air, but I am pleased to say it just isn't the case. It appears strength and height are just as important as heading/jumping. I have been neurotically looking for him to misplace or just plain get beat in the air with a header but I can't say that he has. Overall, a very good card and although I am fuming he is dropping in price from when I bought him this weekend (got him at 160 on PC), it only makes him a better value. If you run a bundesliga squad and missed out on moments boateng like me or just want to allocate your coins in other positions, give him a try. I know some people have said he is too clunky to play LB but I can easily recommend as a CB.
