In FIFA 17, Mats Hummels wants to become faster in the future.
Mats Hummels from FC Bayern has an excellent player card in FUT 17. An overall rating of 87, a strong defense of 88, a strength of 86 – it’s impressive. However, there is one attribute that significantly weakens the center-back: The pace. His standard card has only 64 in this area.
Against forwards like Aubameyang, Ronaldo, or Bale, who all have a pace well over 90, Hummels has serious problems as he simply cannot keep up with them. Compared to other center-backs in the Bundesliga, he does not look good either: Boateng has 79, Naldo 72, Sokratis 78, and Höwedes has 65, which is one point more.
What does a world champion wish for? More pace!
Mats Hummels has a birthday today, on December 16th. Via Twitter, the world champion was asked what he wishes for. He replied: Over 70 pace in the next FIFA game, accompanied by an angry and a laughing smiley:
The future will show whether EA Sports will grant this wish.
Update 18:45: EA Sports has now responded and created a card for Hummels for his birthday. On this exclusive card, he has a significant 85 pace! Congratulations!
By the way, Mats Hummels is a “Ones to Watch” in FUT 17.
