What Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil cards look like in FIFA 23's Winter Wildcards according to leaks

Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil are rather similar when it comes to their style of play. The midfield maestros led their teams to glory using their playmaking vision on both international and club levels.

Real Madrid fans will be especially excited about their reported inclusion in Winter Wildcards. Both the German superstars played vital roles in the club's success over the past decade.


What do the cards look like in FIFA 23?

While their influence and style of play might be similar, Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil are at different stages of their careers. This is evident in their FIFA 23 ratings. While Kroos is still in the prime of his career and rated 88 in the game, Ozil is in the twilight of his playing days with an overall rating of 80.

However, both footballers have received impressive cards with the Winter Wildcards promo of FIFA 23. These are the stats attributed to the 91-rated Kroos card in the six key aspects:

  • Pace: 80
  • Dribbling: 85
  • Shooting: 84
  • Defending: 78
  • Passing: 94
  • Physicality: 75

Meanwhile, the 86-rated Ozil card showcases the following stats:

  • Pace: 80
  • Dribbling: 86
  • Shooting: 82
  • Defending: 30
  • Passing: 90
  • Physicality: 60

While these stats are not confirmed, these attributes are included in the visuals provided with the leaks from FIFATradingRomania and FUT Sheriff.


How will the cards perform in-game?

The two footballers will undoubtedly have varying levels of effectiveness in the current meta of the game.

Kroos will prove to be an excellent box-to-box midfielder with his well-rounded and versatile stats. Meanwhile, Ozil will be more of a creative attacking midfielder, as he lacks the defensive stats and the physical presence to be a midfield enforcer.
