Joshua Kimmich FC 28 Review — Germany's Swiss-Army Midfielder
Kimmich is the ultimate controller in midfield. The best passer in the Bundesliga, a relentless tackler, and capable of playing CDM, CM, or RB — there's no midfielder more versatile. His vision and passing range are magical, and he reads the game better than almost anyone.

In-Game Performance
Strengths
- Passing (88): The best passer among non-icon CDMs — ping-perfect through balls and switches
- Defending (83): Smart positioning and clean tackling — reads play brilliantly
- Dribbling (82): Agile under pressure — never panics on the ball
- Versatility: CDM, CM, RB — genuinely world class in all three positions
- Set pieces: Elite free kick taker — 88+ FK accuracy
- Links: Bayern + Germany = Neuer, Müller, Sané, Davies, Rüdiger, Havertz
Weaknesses
- Pace (72): Slow for the meta — absolutely needs Shadow or Engine
- Physical (76): Gets bodied by bigger midfielders like Rodri
- Height (5'9"): Short for CDM — loses aerial duels
- Shooting (72): Decent long shots but not a goal threat from distance

Best Chemistry Styles
| Chem Style | Boosts | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow | Pace + Defending | Best overall — 82+ pace, 93+ defending |
| Engine | Pace + Pass + Drib | If playing CM — more balanced offensive boost |
| Anchor | Pace + Def + Phys | More physical presence — RB or defensive CM |
Our pick: Shadow. The pace boost is essential. With Shadow, Kimmich becomes 82+ pace with 93+ defending — the best-passing CDM in the game who can also hold his own defensively.
Final Verdict
Rating: 8/10
Kimmich is the thinking player's CDM. He won't bully people off the ball like Rodri, but he'll spray 40-yard passes, intercept everything, and control the tempo. If you value possession and passing over pure physicality, Kimmich is your man. The pace is a concern, but Shadow fixes that adequately.
