FC Bayern has scored a transfer coup with Ryan Gravenberch – other top European clubs are also said to have been interested. The midfielder comes from Ajax Amsterdam, where he advanced to the central cornerstone at a young age. Can he take on a similar role at the German record champion?

First and foremost, Gravenberch probably represents competition for the established Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, but also expands the flexibility in midfield. Should with Robert Lewandowski the absolute offensive target player leave the club (to FC Barcelona?), FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann could strive for tactical adjustments

Three-man midfield option

The options that Gravenberch offers can also be transferred to FIFA 23: With the Dutchman, FC Bayern could play a strong three-man midfield in the upcoming soccer simulation. This consideration would be particularly interesting for the career mode, in which Gravenberch has enormous potential

His FIFA 22 starting value of 78 points allows managers to schedule him directly as a regular player. Especially since this rating is likely to be even higher in FIFA 23 – the 80 mark seems realistic. But Gravenberch becomes really exciting in the career mode regarding the rating he can still reach

90s potential in career mode

The highly talented midfielder has a potential of 90 points, which should not be reduced in FIFA 23. He can thus rise to become a world-class player in his position over the course of the – Season s. For comparison: Kimmich’s potential is also 90, Goretzka’s rating can currently still grow to 89 points

A three-man midfield of Kimmich, Goretzka and Gravenberch could be one of the best FIFA 23 career mode has to offer after two or three – Season s. In the present, the Bayern newcomer impresses first and foremost with his ball control (84), his dribbling (83), his stamina (81) and his overview (80).

Future Stars card as an appetizer

Gravenberch also has an overall rating of 78 points in FUT 22, FUT 23 could also give him an upgrade after switching to a European heavyweight. A small taste of where the journey can go in perspective – although not yet in FIFA 23 – provides his Future Stars card (92).

The great era of the Dutchman is over in Munich, but in the Bundesliga there are still some compatriots who could become relevant in terms of FUT chemistry. An axis of the nimble Donyell Malen of Borussia Dortmund and Gravenberch is conceivable, Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong could also fit

Also virtually before bright future

It should be mentioned at this point, however, that recently some leaks came up that want to adopt the chemistry system for FUT 23. It is therefore possible that the nationality in the composition of their own team will no longer play a real role – Gravenberch should convince but also independently

The 20-year-old is technically adept, has great understanding of the game and considerable potential. All this should reflect FIFA 23, the transfer to FC Bayern should Gravenberch additionally in the field of vision of EA SPORTS. The midfield talent could have a bright future ahead of him – even on the virtual pitch;
