Gylfi Sigurðsson is currently one of my favourite players on FM. I am currently playing a save where I am managing Swansea, and he has been in exceptional form so far. Just see this screenshot
here, 20 goal and 5 assists in 27 games. Currently joint second top scorer, pretty good for a midfielder in my opinion. It may not be his best role, but I have been playing his as a central attacking midfielder, as an attacking inside forward. His natural position is AMC and is accomplished at MC but is also competent playing ST, AMR/L, ML/R.
As you can see from the screenshots, his biggest strength is his set pieces. 16 corners and 18 freekicks and penalty taking. If you put his on set pieces, he will score you goals. He also has 17 long shots, and the shoots from distance PPM, and will grab plenty of goals from range if you give him the freedom to take long shots. His other PPMs are curls ball, Likes to lob keeper and dictates tempo. His passing is also very good, and if I had a better finisher in my Swansea team, his assists would be higher too.
His weaknesses though, are his low work rate, teamwork, pace and acceleration. These can be improved with training though, and I started by putting his individual focus on quickness on heavy intensity. As you can see from the future screenshot (With AI training), he has improved his quickness, and I am sure with custom training, his team work will increase too.
