82 - Normal

4.5

One of the best ball winners in the game

By Wassa, 06-01-2018

Bakayoko is one of the most overused players in Fifa 18 and for a good reason. His card stats may not look amazing BUT in game he's a defensive beast!

What makes him so good is his ability to intercept and win the ball back for the team which makes him a perfect CDM. Just don't expect him to be a playmaker since his dribbling and passing is so poor and his shooting is really bad.

So: defend - win back the ball - short pass to another player - repeat.

Used him in the most common formations. If you use a formation with only two CM:s he can be a bit underwhelming with his playmaking abilities.

Bakayoko 91 FUTTIES card

Where to start, I have done the SBC for Bakayoko because i had some players lying around in my club, including untradable David Silva and a David Luiz, both of which i don't use, i used the free cards of Alex Sandro and Matuidi, from then it cost me around 50k to complete, if you're in a similar position, do it, and if you have to start from scratch, do it also, as this card is one of the best CDMs I've used all year, hes...

Our old friend from early game - but much better

I used him in the first months so I simply couldn't pass on that SBC and I'm glad I didn't! I replaced Blanc 86 as a CM in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation that sometimes goes to 4-2-3-1 with him as CDM alongside Hummels TOTS and he's been amazing so far. He's outstanding in defense, with amazing tackles, placement and headers. His passing is pretty great, unlike his gold version, but his shooting isn't much better. ...

Sick player

Great player to use overall for box to box. Weakness can be seen offensively but makes up for it hugely defensively. Can see myself using him for a while, especially with CDMs in my formation.
