Left Midfielder Review

By cgopie1, 17-10-2021

I packed Leroy Sane's 88 RTTK card as an untradeable on Friday shortly after it came out, and I had to find a way of fitting him into my team, which was a 4-4-2 Premier League & La Liga hybrid. I also wanted Sane to play as a striker, so I looked to find someone who I could fit into my squad as an ST but play as a wide midfielder in-game, and I figured Wirtz was the best player to do that with.

So this is the squad I'm playing him in (https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/1734159), with Wirtz moving to LM, Sane to right ST, and Jota as RM. I play long ball & possession, with Wirtz' staying wide and getting in behind. I've given him the catalyst chem style. At the time I got him, I was in Division Rivals 8, but now I'm playing Division rivals 5. Wirtz has played 16 games, all in rivals, scoring 5 goals and getting 4 assists.

I've been using Jota and Bale on the wings since the start of the game, so whilst Wirtz' best position isn't on the wing, he has felt like a massive upgrade for me in that position.

His pace is good. In counter attacks he always seems to be in space and on the move and gets me up the pitch really well. He does sometimes get caught up by fast full backs, but by then he's in a good position to turn inside to move the attack towards the strikers.

Speaking of which, his ability to turn quickly is brilliant, so even when the full back catches up to him, Wirtz can cut inside quick enough to bring him back into space. I'm not really someone who dribbles that much, or uses skill moves, but with the few times I've used Wirtz to try and beat a man, he does it very well.

His shooting from inside the box is decent, though he could've scored more hadn't it been for some unbelievable saves from keepers. However, his finesse shots outside the box, considering I only got him AFTER the nerf, have somehow been amazing. Considering his long shot stat isn't that great, and I haven't given him any shooting boost via chem style, this was quite a nice surprise for me. With catalyst, he has 89 curve, so perhaps this has a lot to do with it.

He has 4* weak foot, but his crossing with his left foot has been perfect for me so far. With catalyst, he has a 94 crossing stat and it has shown. His passing in general is crisp, and I've rarely had an issue with it.

Defensively, he actually wins the ball back for me a lot, and is very good at tracking runs down the wing when the full back moves inside in defensive positions.

His strength stats are quite low, but I've really not had an issue with it.

In general, he is really good and is worth getting. Obviously most people won't play him on the wing, but he does a good job there anyway. I doubt I'll be using him regularly as the game progresses, but for the time being he is more than good enough and I'm glad I got him.

Takes up brilliant positions to play him in down the wing
Finesse shots from outside the box (post patch)
Great crossing
Great at cutting inside really quickly
Crisp passing
Good defending
Great stamina

No real cons for me. He's pretty decent at everything, just not amazing.

Good for price

At first I was thinking that 50k for this player was too much but after using some fodders of my club it cost me around 13k where I saved a lot. He is an improved version of Nkunku with almost the same price where you can save with untradeables it is even cheaper. He has an insane dribbling only missing the 5 star wf, his pace is unbalance but it feels really good in-game. I tried him MCO and Striker but I concluded that he...

very meta

I was lucky enough to pack him from my 85x10 and first game I put him in as subersub as center cam and he scores two in 10 minutes to win it in extra time. Now i didn't play much with him but i think that's i all needed to see that he was amazing. His left stick dribbling is so smooth, his finishing without any shooting chem style is ridiculous. He accelerates like crazy. This could be a stretch but he honestly feels like M...

Ridiculous CAM

This dude is a beast, I got him in my red picks and gave it a go, He is agile, extremely fast (for me) and really made a difference in my team. I used a Hawk on him and it really helped me.
