Müller’s base shooting stats are elite, and when combined with the driven shot plus trait, he becomes a monster inside and outside the box. The 5-star weak foot makes his finishing consistent on either side, and with 90+ heading accuracy and 90 jumping, he also gives you an aerial threat.

His body type is average and stocky, so while he’s not the most agile striker, he has solid presence in tight spaces. EA clearly designed this version of Müller to be an efficient and ruthless finisher.

Best chemistry style for Dreamchasers Gerd Müller

This card needs an engine chem style to make him feel smoother on the ball. Without it, his dribbling and agility feel too stiff, especially against quick defenders.

Engine boosts his:

  • Acceleration
  • Agility and balance
  • Dribbling control

With engine applied, you get the most out of his movement and help unlock better angles to unleash that insane driven shot.

If you’re not worried about dribbling and want to max out his pace, you could run a catalyst. But considering how effective low dribbles and quick turns are in FC 25, engine is still the standout choice.

Driven shot meta is cracked with this Gerd Müller card

Müller’s driven shot plus is the biggest selling point of this SBC. Whether you time the shot green or just fire it clean, the result is usually a rocket into the net. With his high base shooting stats, he’s putting power and accuracy behind every finish.

Even when his angle is tight or when the box is crowded, Müller consistently finds space to hit a clean driven. It’s not just effective from inside the box either. If you create space from the edge, his low shot has a surprising amount of zip and curve.

Finesse and power shots are solid, but they do require more perfect setups or green timing to get the same results. In comparison, the driven feels easier and more effective, especially with that 5-star weak foot.

How Gerd Müller fits into different team setups

Gerd Müller works best in a two-striker formation. Using him in something like a 4-4-2, 4-2-2-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow) allows him to play off a faster partner who can stretch the defense while Müller finishes everything inside.

In a solo striker role, like in a 4-2-3-1, you’ll start to notice his lack of elite pace. If defenders are pressing high or your buildup is slower, he can feel heavy trying to break past the line. That’s where he needs support or good link-up play to be most effective.

That said, even when defenders close him down, if you manage to create a slight window, he’ll bury the ball. The press proven and technical playstyles help him shield and turn, giving just enough space for those deadly finishes.

SBC price and value

Gerd Müller comes in at around 500k across nine squads, and considering what he offers, that’s not bad at all. As far as Icon SBCs go, this one delivers consistent output in front of goal and fits the current finishing meta perfectly.

If you build your attack around creating angles for driven shots, this card is for you. He’s not flashy, and you’re not going to break ankles with 5-star skills, but if you want goals, he will bring them.

Müller doesn’t just feel like a poacher — he feels like a goal-scoring machine when used properly. With the right chem style and in the right formation, he’s one of the best value strikers available through SBCs right now.
