Philipp Wollscheid

@ Assassin:

Who are you to make stats of players like Cohen and Wollscheid? Even as a Nuremberg-fan it's quite dodgy to rate them, because they don't play very often, especially Wollscheid. Do you watch 1.FC Nuremberg games live or are you just guessing?

[Malakayi]

RES could be 2-3 points higher, Wollscheid is extraordinary sharp in terms of reacting to changing situations or enemy players' actions. Also TW should have a yellow value (80 would be fine), he commands the his backline alle the time and he does it very well, for me a future candidate for the D-Line-Control-ability and that's such a rare breed in Germany.

[monKevski]

Watched him today quite closely and I think he's a candidate for D-Line Control only two or three years. Yes, he is quite communicative with his team-mates, but with 22 years it is too early for me for this card. Additionally I rather he is at the moment more a marking defender sticking to the striker (today mostly Podolski, who hadn't any chance to shoot). That is one of his best assets I think to forecheck the opposition very early so the player only have possibility to pass back.

I also think his positioning is better than his reaction or at least at the same level. In duels he sometimes comes to late and causes so some stupid fouls. Otherwise in the defence line he stands very well, if it's needed he's rushing out of out to interrupt an attack of the opponent.

Finally, he just needs some tweaks in passing, Ment/TW. His short passing is pretty safe, in the build-up he almost makes the right decisions and brings the ball successfully further. As I said he is a very communicative defender, Wollscheid needs a raise in Team Work as well. He is talking to everybody in his line to either move forward or to stand correctly. And last but not least, he got a decent technique when receiving a ball for his size.

[Malakayi]

agree that it is a little bit too early for him to have D-Line Control but he's on a good way nonetheless.

[monKevski]

If you want to, Malakayi, you can take a look at this site.
I've posted my set with some more tweaks and I also wrote a text about him, but in german, so something for you I think.

[Malakayi]

good suggestions and your set looks fine too.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
★ D-Line Control

PLAYER INDEX CARDS:
S07 - Man Marking

Maybe add *Marking and DF Leader?

[monKevski]

In fact I tried to delete the D-Line Control and add *Marking, when I update his set, but somehow it doesn't work at me in the editor. Maybe somebody of the global mods or admins could fix that. Btw, I think I was too generous with Defence, Response and Technique. Especially in the last couple of games I saw some lacks in positioning of him and some technical issues.

[Malakayi]

Defence is fine, Response could be 1-2 points lower though, for Technique I think 74 would be good. And I see his LPA / LPS slightly better than the current values, around 1-2 points.

[monKevski]

I see his Response slightly better than his Defence, consider *Marking which improves his positioning towards strikers. Nevertheless the current values make him too good, he leaves his position too often.

Gave him a little update in some areas like DEF, RES, HEA, JUM and passes, also create and bigger gap between his TS and ACC. Young good defender with promise projection. Excellent sign for Leverkusen for next season, hope he does good there.

[Kruger13]

Find his a bit more effective in enemy box. Lower stamina is a must. Seems he is fast over long distances but seems i was a bit generous previously. His response can come down a couple of points. Agility as well, his body movement isn't this fluid. He has a decent ball control carrying it and killing it, is like the new generation technical defenders. Finally, his mentality and teamwork should have a -2. He isnt that strong in mental aspects neither this good at keeping the position. Joined LEverkusen, one of the most not order defensive in BL can be a double edge sword. He can triumph giving what Bayer needs or get lost with them. Hope the first one, he a good player.

ATT: 66

[stjuart]

84 is too low for BB, He is very strong in sholder duel. STA coud be higher for point or two. And DEF coud go up, he is very smart in defense.

[Hayame]

Stats are good as they are. Maybe BAL can go up 1 or 2 points

[Kruger13]

Didn't noticed i changed his BAL... Gave his previous value. And higher DEF can be consider but i want to see him more establishing in Leverkusen.

[Malakayi]

I think we could raise his ST to a more above-average value, look at this goal he scored against Augsburg two weeks ago, he hit the ball very cleanly and it wasn't that easy since he had to spin his body to hit it.

[veratti]

It's an amazing and rapidly evolving - and I think he deserves a minor addition in defense, balance and response

Defence:84-85
Response: 84-85
Body Balance:87-88

[Kruger13]

Agree with higher DEF and RES. I have doubts about higher BAL. His game is healthy for Leverkusen defensive line.
