87 - OTW

3.5

Batsman doesn't live up to his stats

By UnallowedMethods, 26-03-2018

So I decided to test out the beast called Michy Batshuayi, because I wanted my beloved Reus back in the team. I decided to go for the OTW, who was at the same price like his TIF at the time.

I decided to start in a 433 with the linked team, and switching up the formation to 41212 (2) - for most games - later testing 4231 with him as a lone striker.

I'm going to make it a short story: As the titles indicates, he does not live up to the stats the card has.

After playing strikers like Del Piero, Mbappe, Ciro (SIF, beast!), Reus, Suarez he feels like a joke. After Catalyst the first couple of games I put him on Hawk, and it didnt change much. Most of the game he gets infront of the goalkeeper he misplaces his shots. I used the trainer assistant or w/e it is called (the one that shows where you aim) and shots that were aimed at the far post just didnt hit. Easy sitters (for Reus and ADP) were shot at the keeper or completly missed. I really tried to make him work - but I can't. At least for the majority of games. He wins a ton of headers with 99 jumping and 99 heading acc. but they won't have much power and therefor easy catches for the goalkeeper.

I tried to use him as a target forward, he did play that position quite good, shielding the ball of the defense, but his passes were ... bad ... so most passes he recieved just went back to ADP setting up a 1-2 or a longshot.

Occasionally, he had a game or two where he scored like a madman, getting 2,3 or 4 goals under his belt, getting assists ... but those were a rare occurance.

For me a is a complete disaster, who isnt able to live up to his card's stats and therefore not worth the roughly 100k he is at right now.

PS: If anyone of you got tips to make him work, I'd appreciate those.

Michy Batshuayi

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATSMAN!!!

What a beast if a card!! Packed him in the Bundesliga TOTS and have decided to never let him out of my squad for the remainder of FIFA.Pace: This card is capable of outrunning most defenses, but this stat is definitely not his most strong feature. Just like other TOTS cards (Roberto Firmino, Lukaku) his pace doesn't really feel like what his card stats say, but regardless he is still fast - 8/10...

Michy Batshuayi

A game in the life of a young Mitchy (a dp review)

Cheap and affordable. Quite the beast if you ask me. Played 1 game for me and scored 4 goals in an important FUT champions game, he definitely had his weetabix that morning. His ferocious 99 strength and 91 pace give him the ability to blitz past defenders and with 99 shot power and finishing he will not only break the net but shall also break the goalkeeper and anyone who stands before him. I really do feel for the opponen...

Michy Batshuayi

Batshuayi the unintentional forward.

After 29 Ones to watch untradeable SBC i packed this guy 4 times. I only got a 83+ 1 time (Diego Costa). I tried to get Aubameyang or my favourite BPL Player Alexis Sanchez but EA doesnt matter. So i said yesterday to myself i will do this sbc one more time... and i received Batshuayi. So enough from my private story.I played only 3 games with his 85 card but wow. Who is Aubameyang? I play this guy on 8 ch...
