İlkay Gündoğan is a deep-lying playmaker at Manchester City, rated 87 overall in FC 25, CM. By the standards of the role, that's elite. At 33 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. What sets them apart is their ball control of 91.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should İlkay 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 their PlayStyle+ in First Touch and roles like Playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is ball control (91), short passing (89) and composure (87). Their ball control is phenomenal and it's the trait to build their game around. And their PlayStyle+ (First Touch) push that ceiling even higher.
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 52,9 M€ with 248 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
