By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should İ. Gündoğan have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is short passing (85), long passing (85) and ball control (84). Their short passing is elite and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 19,5 M€ with 177 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
