Amazing!
By cgopie1, 25-11-2021

When pre Black Friday was announced, I immediately went to open all 37 of my saved packs. Unfortunately I didn't get any of the best of TOTW players, getting Trapp and Stevanovic in my two current TOTW upgrade packs, but it was all worth it as Gerrard came out of my rare mega pack that I got from silver beasts.


I immediately stuck him in my main team ahead of Fabinho (what an upgrade!), and also sold Son and spent almost all of my remaining coins on UCL Reus. This is the squad I'm currently rocking with: https://www.futbin.com/22/squad/3377261.


My team now feels complete, and I won't be able to improve it for a while, considering I've only got 3k coins left. I just finished playing 15 games in Division Rivals since getting Gerrard and am now in Div 3.


In game, I mostly play a 4-2-3-1 with Gerrard as the LDM and Kimmich as the RDM. I have both DMs on stay back, cover centre and cut passing lanes. I gave Gerrard the shadow chem style.


Games: 15

Goals: 8

Assists: 5


Defensively he is so good. I have used Fabinho in this position for almost 100 games, and whilst Fabinho was great for me, Gerrard jus seems to do so much more. He is able to close down attacks so quickly, and then wins it back with a tackle so often. You really feel his aggression in game. He intercepts so much as well.


His passing looked good enough not to bother touching with a chem style, and it has proven as such so far. I haven't really used long passing much so far this FIFA, but I started to try to make use of Gerrard's 93 long passing and it is just amazing. I can easily spam OTT through balls with him up to Mane/Reus/Sane with amazing precision, and if weren't for the fact I need 10 xG for every 1 goal I score, Gerrard would have about 20 assists by now, instead of just the 5.


His shooting is quite monstrous, and I feel like I want to try him in the CAM role, as his shooting feels insane, whilst I rarely get him in positions to shoot. Every long shot I've taken with him has felt beyond insane, even though I haven't yet mastered the art of green-timing my shots. I must have scored 5-6 goals with him from range already. I've also scored a couple clinical goals with him from the rare occasions he's been inside the box.


His movement when he doesn't have the ball is very good. He always makes small movements to get himself into space to receive a pass.


I don't often try many dribbles with him, but I like to get him running with the ball at speed in straight lines through the centre of the park, which he is brilliant at. Even when under pressure, he manages to hold of players trying to body him off the ball and runs straight past them.


Overall, I don't know how he'd fare at a high level, but for my level, he is absolutely brilliant. If you've got 500k coins lying around and looking for an icon midfielder, I would genuinely strongly recommend him.

Great defensively

Aggression feels like 99

Long and short passing both amazing

Surprisingly GOOD!

So I packed Stevie G in the mid icon SBC pack and I got disappointed because I already had baby Matthäus. Then Matthäus started to mess up all the time so I sold him and Vieira who I switched ingame because Vieira is a top 5 CB ingame. I bought Mid Maldini and had no money left so I thought I´d try out Stevie G and oh my was I surprised. His defensive positioning is incredible. Intercepts everything, Amazing shortpassing (Long passing can be a bit shaky). He is very good at keeping the ball, Very strong (do not get bullied of the ball). Have not really tried his shooting as I usually play through my striker and 3 CAMs. He is fast enough with a shadow to play CDM.
