More and more information and leaks about FIFA 22 come into the so-called internet. Now a leaker wants to know that the VfB legend Mario Gómez will be included as an icon in the upcoming game. We already tell you today how strong he should be.
On Twitter there was a lot of action today, when Mario Gómez was announced as a new FIFA 22 icon. Well, not from official side – that must be clear to you. But the rumors seem to be more and more. Gómez is said to be already in the code of EA.
Does this look like the icon cards for Mario Gómez in FIFA 22?
If Mario Gómez really will come as icon in FIFA 22, he would be the second German striker beside Miroslav Klose, which we can play in FUT. In case you don’t know who Mario Gómez is (shame on you), you can find his key data in a short overview.
Name: Mario Gómez
- Probable positions: MS | ST | RS
- Nation: Germany
- Predicted GES: 88 | 90 | 91 | 93
- Weak foot: 3 stars
- Skills: 3 stars
Estimating the strength for the various Mario Gómez icon cards is currently still pure speculation. We assume that his base starts approximately between 86-88 OVR.
For VfB Stuttgart, the striker scored 110 times in 230 competitive matches. In the 2006/2007 – Season , he won the German championship with his VfB.
After his time in Stuttgart, he moved to FC Bayern Munich. The Munich club signed the Bundesliga’s top scorer in 2009 for around 30 million euros. At Bayern, Gómez scored 113 goals in 174 games, won the double in his debut – Season and was part of FCB’s triple team in 2013.
Gómez also played for AC Florence and Besiktas Istanbul before returning to the Bundesliga and VfL Wolfsburg. He ended his career with VfB in 2020.
In FIFA, we don’t really expect outstanding speed for his base card. However, his finishing should be more than solid on all cards. His dribbling value should definitely not reach 80 in Base. We also don’t expect outstanding stats in defense and passing either. His physicality, however, should be really top notch.
