Player Review
94 - Headliners
First of all, I have played with 86 Vieira, 88 Keane, 89 MOTM Verratti and 96 TOTY Kante as some of my cdm's in the past.
For me, this Kimmich card is my favourite card to use so far. He is a joy to play with. His defensive awareness and passing are huge strengths and he intercepts and holds the midfield really well. I play him with Roy Keane as cdm in a 3-5-2 formation and he is one of the standout players.
His playing style is perfect. He does what he needs to do but he does it really well. TOTY Kante is phenomenal but often he would stray forward and it does leave you open. I sold him for 4m coins. I'm content that I did. Kimmich is more guarded, does get forward but has a good balance to his play. His composure, strength and passing in the middle of the park is brilliant. It's just perfect.
I felt compelled to write this review. I cannot believe he's less than 200k. The stats are deceptive. I've played 10 and won 10 with him in Division 1. He's perfectly well-rounded and I would recommend buying him.

Links. Whilst Goretska and Ozil are perfect links, it can be hard to find or link him to wingers or elite cbs at the moment. TOTY Lewandowski is the elite choice for ST but you might need a couple of icons. Puyol and Beckham are particularly useful.
