82 - Normal

My favourite LM/LW in FIFA 18
By Emir013, 26-11-2017

One of my favourite LM/LW in this year. Easy to link with Fabinho so you can go a hybrid.His pace(92) combinated with his strength(76), height (6'), agility(82) and balance (77)makes him stand out for me.I use him as a striker in 41212(2) with G.Jesus as the other ST. I've used IF Arnautovic as a ST in a 41212(2) but his lack of agility and balance combined made him feel sluggisher than his 79 pace. And that is what makes the difference between Balde Diao and IF Arnautovic, obviously Arnautovic has less pace but I used a chem style on him to bring his pace up to 88-ish.And something else that massively boosts Balde his efficiency is his 4* WF and 4* SM.

Composure=79

Agility=82

Height=6'

Strength=76

SM=4*

WF=4*

Finishing=(79)

League=Ligue 1, but to be more specific the option to hybrid iit out by using Fabinho

Absolute Monster

Wonderful ST to have. So fast on and off the ball and the ball control it's self is just dirty (amazing). His dribbling means no defender can even touch him. Great to run at defenders with and is VERY effective on the counter attack mixed with his wonderful finishing just makes him an absolute danger. The 6ft is also a great addition to his amazing pace as this makes him a threat in the air and wins most headers against the...

Outstanding

Balde is the absolute best alternative to Neymar in any League1 team, unless you have a spare 400k+ to drop being cheap is not such a bad idea anymore when cards like this exist. He has explosive acceleration off the dribble and off of skill moves, with blistering speed and dribbling skills. Any finesse shot inside 25 yards he will finish, and I found me scoring most of my goals with him after cutting in from the wing and o...

Brilliant player

He is amazing. I'm using him as a sub after 60' minutes in difficult games and he has saved me all the times i've done that. His long shot is amazing. I've scored so many goals in this way and other times he is just in the right place to score and the goals are (again) amazing. On the other hand i think his strong attribute is his passes. He has assist so many goals and help the team win the game.
