Mario Gomez has returned in FIFA 22 in the form of a Hero card. Here you can find out how strong the card really is and whether it is worth it for your team.
Recently, the Hero cards have become available in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, and especially the striker card of Stuttgart legend Mario Gomez makes an interesting impression. We will take a closer look at the card and clarify how strong it is.
What are Hero cards? The FUT Heroes are a kind of “light icons,” which have come into the game with FIFA 22. They are some really strong footballers from the past who have developed into fan favorites over time or provided unforgettable moments.
This is how expensive the card is: Currently (as of 05.10.2021), the price of the Hero Gomez card is 240,000 coins. That is quite hefty and more than most FUT players’ teams currently cost. But is it worth saving? We clarify for whom the Mario Gomez card is something.
If you have some patience, it may be that the card will become significantly cheaper. Because already now a price drop can be observed. Since the card’s launch on October 1st, it has fallen from 290,000 to 240,000.
This is how strong Mario Gomez’s Hero card is
Gomez represents a type of striker that is currently very popular in FIFA 22: big, powerful players who can assert themselves in the penalty area. The FIFA 21 days are over, where only small and agile strikers could make waves.
Currently, strikers like Lukaku, Haaland, or Gomez are more popular than ever, as the pace value is not so crucial in the current META of FIFA 22. More important right now are strong shooting values as well as good agility and dribbling stats for strikers. All of that is offered by Gomez.
This is why the Gomez card is so good: Mario Gomez is especially strong due to his height of 1.89 meters and his strong shooting, dribbling, and physical stats. He can use his body well against strong defenders and assert himself in the penalty area. And with a shot power of 92, keepers should have almost no chance on shots from inside the box. His 4-star weak foot additionally helps, allowing him to shoot almost with both feet.
Additionally, Gomez is a real weapon for crosses, as with a value of 91 for heading and 85 for jumping, Gomez should convert quite a few headers.
If you then use the Engine Chemistry Style, his stats boost as follows:
- Acceleration: 79 -> 84
- Sprint Speed: 86 -> 91
- Agility: 73 -> 78
- Balance: 71 -> 81
- Dribbling: 81 -> 91
- Vision: 75 -> 80
- Crossing: 74 -> 84
- Short Pass: 77 -> 82
- Long Pass: 66 -> 71
- Curve: 72 -> 82
These are the disadvantages: But besides all the strengths, the Hero card also has a few minor weaknesses. One is the missing finesse trait, without which it is difficult to use the overly strong finesse shots from outside the box. Therefore, you should look for the finish inside the box with Gomez.
And on the other hand, the stamina value of 80 is a problem that causes the striker to become tired towards the end of the game.
For whom is the card worth it? The Hero card of Mario Gomez is clearly something for FUT players with a Bundesliga team and a large budget. The card offers great stats and should mainly provide many goals in the penalty area.
