Player Review
88 - SBC
if you have a German squad then Bastian's card is a peach. 1st plus point is he is free meaning that you can sell a player from your squad and replace with Bastian. I find him brilliant, he wont score or assist much but i have my CDM as non attacking. His interceptions are really good, He hardly losses the ball and can spray it around a bit. If in position his long shot can be very effective. After 10 games he has 2 goals but that is out of 4 shots so a good return. His defensive positioning is really strong and he will link with a very good German Cb pairing. Depending on your previous SBC players he would link well with Kaka and Pirlo. I find his stamina to be more than fine as he isnt going to make 30-40 yard runs. He will be a reliable high rated card for your squad. If in the future you fancy a high rated SBC you also have the chance to use Bastian but you wont be to get another so maybe not worth trading. If he played in Germany and this was a tradable card i reckon he would cost over 200k. As it stands his league in a minus but his nation makes up for it. Definitely worth using. Note - try not to judge all midfielders and attackers on goals/assists only. Its hard to avoid when its the only info we have but in general if your winning then the team is working. Would love an average rating ,clean sheets , pass success in future FUTs.
