Heading
Klose's main stat is his amazing 89 heading which is noticeably good, especially when playing against centre backs with lower heading stats. He can consistently produce goals from crosses and corners which other strikers aren't capable of scoring. He is taller than players such as Falcao who also has very high heading stats. Heading Rating 10/10.
Shooting
His card stat may only say 79 shooting but his shooting seems much better than that, his shooting was practically perfect due to his 99 finishing, all of his shots would be on target and straight into the corners where the goalkeeper can't reach. This meant that any shots from inside the box were almost guaranteed to go in. However, his shots were not particularly powerful so scoring from outside the box was a bit more difficult but he could still score easily from the edge of the box but long shots were very hard to score. Shooting Rating 9/10.
Pace
His pace stats, 80 acceleration and 78 sprint speed would suggest that he is not particularly fast but is quick enough to get the job done. In FIFA 13 though, most players use cheap, pacey defenders such as Dede, Felipe Santana and David Luiz. These centre backs have very similar pace to Klose and using him against these fast defenders will mean that they will be able to catch up and prevent Klose from scoring. The best way to use Klose to not worry about his slightly lacking pace is to use very fast wingers to get in an accurate cross for him to head into the back of the net.
Pace Rating 7/10
Dribbling
80 dribbling and 86 ball control means that he is good at keeping the ball close to him and not losing the ball because of taking bad touches. He can dribble the ball around players well to get into a shooting position to score. He isn't brilliant at dribbling so don't expect him to beat the best defenders in the game with ease.
Dribbling Rating 8/10
Defending
Even though defending is the least important stat for a striker, it is still useful to be able to defend from the front and steal the ball from the opposition defenders and score an easy goal. This is something you can't do with Klose because he doesn't have good enough tackling stats to win the ball. This isn't that important for a striker though and isn't a serious problem.
Defending Rating 4/10
Passing
Klose has 69 passing which is unimpressive but it is all you need for a striker because they do not need to do the long balls that CMs have to do. All they have to do is short passes and through balls. Klose is capable of doing this well and his passes are good enough for what he has to do.
Passing Rating 6/10
Is he worth it?
It depends on your play style, if you like like to cross a lot then he is definitely worth a lot more than what you can get him for. If you like to pass the ball around then he would be a valuable addition to a German or Serie A team but if you like to play with very fast and sweaty players then he will probably be difficult to use and not worth the coins.
