Player Review
87 - FUT Birthday
First things first, I would 100% recommend playing him at CDM. I start him at LB then move him to CDM in a 3-5-2 playing him alongside Kimmich. I had a lot of fun with this card, and I will continue to play him through the following weeks. I used a guardian on him to boost his CDM stats (balance, def. awareness, and interceptions.
Enough waffling let’s get into the review!
Pace:
Sprint speed alright, this is why I recommend him for CDM because you don’t want to be caught on the counter with him running back, over long distances he will be burned by your classic Mbappes. His acceleration is nuts, it feels like more than 99, I have TIF Diaby in my team and Guerreiro feels faster on the acceleration front. 9/10
Shooting:
Nice, not too bad, not ever really in a position to shoot due to the lack of longshots but its mostly 80s so not bad. 7/10
Passing:
Ping merchant. 5* WF is class for passing, driven passes are even better, never a pass off target, not much else to say here. 10/10
Dribbling:
Unreal. Short and lean body type compliments the base 90 agility and 92 balance, he feels like if Ben Yedder was a CDM. He can get out of any situation easily. 10/10
Defending:
Holy moly. He is nuts at defending, that 83 defending stat is a lie, I used a guardian, so they were even more juiced. 96 interceptions, 96 defensive awareness and high 90s tackling, nothing else to say except he is the Bundesliga Kante confirmed. 10/10
Physical:
Rather dead. I don’t mind my CDMs having low strength e.g. Kimmich but they must have high aggression and Guerriero lacked it for LB doesn’t matter much but stamina is class. 7/10
WF/SM:
4* Skills nice for getting out of sticky situations he can turn your average ngolo inside out with a simple berba spin. 5* Weak foot is lovely, weirdly I’m happy he doesn’t have 5* SM, I would not take this card seriously otherwise. 8/10 because I am an idiot and love skills with my defensive players.
Conclusion:
Full backs at CDM is the new meta, unreal card, silly how cheap he is and easily the best CDM I have used this year. 10/10
Thanks for reading my review, a like would be appreciated. Have a good day!
