EA FC Tactical Beta Icon Steven Gerrard. Analysis.
Greetings coaches and welcome to the analysis of the legend of Liverpool and the England national team: Steven Gerrard.
Stats Analysis:
Gerrard is a very complete player, having good offensive and defensive stats.
Reaching 11k in shooting and passing at level 60 and reaching 17k in those stats at level 100, which makes him a player capable of scoring goals against green and blue goalkeepers, in addition to being able to assist his teammates with those passing stats.
On the other hand, in defense, his tackling stats are very good with 11k at level 60 and 17k at level 100, so with his S+ rank tackling skill move he will be able to stop the best dribblers in the game, and his interception stats It’s not bad either, with 9k at level 60 and 14k at level 100, so it’s decent when trying to intercept passes.
Recommended positions:
Gerrard has the possibility of playing in 3 positions, and he is good in all.
Since thanks to his shooting stats he can perfectly play as CAM and have the possibility of scoring goals.
Or play as CM and fulfill the Playmaker role with his good passing stats.
Even play as CDM and stop opposing attackers with his tackle.
So you can use Gerrard in the position that your team needs most, just mention that if he plays in his main position (CM) he will receive a bonus to his energy.
Evolution points recommendation:
If you will be using Gerrard as a scorer in the CAM position, I recommend distributing his 16 evolution points as follows:
- 5 Points to Shooting (+1000).
- 2 Points to Dribbling (+550).
- 2 Points to Passing (+550).
- 5 Points to Power (+1000).
- 2 Points to Speed (+550).
If you will use Gerrard as a playmaker and ball recovery in the CM or CDM position, I recommend distributing his 16 evolution points as follows:
- 4 Points to Passing (+900).
- 2 Points to Tackling (+550).
- 4 Points to Intercept (+900).
- 3 Points to Speed (+750).
- 3 Points to Technique (+750).
Recommended skill moves:
Gerrard comes with an S+ rank tackling, A rank shooting and A rank dribbling.
Gerrard S+ tackle brings a special effect, which increases the player’s stats if we use this skill move in the midfield, a very good effect because Gerrard will be in that area of the field many times in the match, so he can benefit of this effect very often.
To complete Gerrard skill moves kit, he must be given One-Two to have another option to advance, a pass to assist the forwards and an interception to try to recover balls.
Trait analysis and recommendations:
Gerrard traits are the following:
The main S rank trait is very good, as it decreases the power reduction of our shots by distance, so Gerrard has the ability to shoot outside the opponent’s penalty area and still have a high probability of scoring.
On the other hand, its main A-rank trait is not very useful, as it will increase our player stats if we have Power Play activated, but unfortunately Power Play is activated 1 or 2 times during the match and does not last too long, so that we will play a large part of the game with this trait disabled.
The traits that I recommend are the following:
These traits will help us make Gerrard a better scorer, increasing his stats in offensive zones and against the rival goalkeeper, in addition to reinforcing the power of the shooting skill move with the Shot Master.
On the other hand, if we will use Gerrard in the CM or CDM position, it is advisable to give him traits that improve his stats in midfield, in addition to increasing the power of his passing and interception skill moves, you can also give him traits that improve his tackling .
Strengths:
- Ability to go up to 5 stars and get a large increase in their stats.
- He is capable of fulfilling the role of scorer against green and blue goalkeepers.
- Good stats in attack and defense.
- Multiple positions.
Weaknesses:
- Type disadvantage against widely used red CM (Lampard, Gullit, etc.)
- Rank A Main Trait will activate a few times during the match.
Conclusion:
Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in the game, I have no doubt about that.
With his good distribution of stats both offensively and defensively, he can fulfill several roles on the field, making him a very versatile player.
Additionally, because he is an Icon player he will always receive a bonus to his stats in ranked matches.
Therefore, if you are one of the lucky ones to have Gerrard, using evolution crystals on him should be one of your priorities.
