How does Leon Goretzka FC Heritage perform in-game?
Goretzka’s core strength is how well-rounded his midfield role is.
Passing stat distribution is perfect
90 Short Passing and 88 Long Passing are very helpful for midfield organization. He can not only complete simple short passing combinations, but also handle progression and switching the ball forward.
Add in 4-star Weak Foot, and there’s relatively little limitation on passing with either foot.
Defending is above acceptable
87 Interceptions, 86 Standing Tackle, and 89 Strength give him solid head-on dueling and interception ability.
The mediocre part is Defensive Awareness is only 80, leaving a sizable gap from elite defending.
Body type has pros and cons
189cm, Lengthy AcceleRATE, and 89 Strength give him a big advantage in physical duels.
But 80 Acceleration, 80 Agility, and 77 Balance limit his turning flexibility.
When facing high pressure, his best playstyle is to use his body to shield the ball and then switch the attack direction through Passing. He’s not suited to frequent tight-space turns and quick escapes from pressure.
What position should he play in-game?
Most recommended: CDM – Holding
This position perfectly lets Goretzka use his physical stats to protect the center, while also using Passing to start attacks. He fits as one of the two CDMs, paired with a more mobile defensive midfielder.
Second choice: CM – Box-to-Box
He can contribute defensively, push forward, and use 86 Shot Power and 86 Long Shots to shoot from outside. However, 80 Stamina is a limitation; covering the whole field at high intensity nonstop isn’t his strength.
Is this SBC worth completing?
The Leon Goretzka SBC isn’t cheap to complete, the value isn’t great, and overall it’s not recommended.
If you’re building a Premier League or Germany squad and need a midfielder who can handle both defense and buildup, then it’s more worth doing.
