EA Sports have done away with the usual FUTmas and instead introduced a series of cards that are sure to send shivers down the spines of opponents aptly named FUT Freeze.
Alongside the FUT Freeze squad made available in the regular packs, there are also new SBCs and Objectives each day for players to complete to get their hands on one of these limited-time players.

On the SBC front, we now have Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry to get our teeth. Moved from RM to CAM Gnabry is one of the most usable of some very strange Freeze cards we have seen.

On the surface, Gnabry Freeze doesn't look much better than his base but delve into stats and there are some real improvements that make him a nutty player.
The card overall is 88 (+3) with the biggest gains seen in his Passing (+10) and Pace (+6) stats. Particular highlights include his Long and Short Passing, as well as his Vision which now sits at 88, 91 and 93 respectively.
Acceleration at 95 (+5) and Sprint Speed 83 (+7) put him up there with some of the fastest players in the game.
Improvements to Shooting and Dribbling make him a more well-rounded player.

Is Gnabry Freeze worth it?
If you run a Bundesliga heavy team there are few better CAM, his pace his frightening and he has the technical attributes to make him a real danger against any side.
The Bundesliga isn't short of good attacking midfielders though, so in the sense, Gnabry, at a cost of 225K coins is a luxury.
Gnabry's Freeze is available until the 30th December.
