90 - IF

2.5

Terribly Disappointing

By KFCManager227, 31-03-2018

I packed this 90 overall Gareth Bale from an untradeable ToTW pack and was incredibly excited to try him out. He's a brilliant dribbler and passer, but that's honestly where the positives end. Bale literally is incapable of finishing simple goals and struggles to maintain possession if he comes into contact with a defender. I thought he would end up being a great card, seeing as how great he is in real life, in addition to the fact that he has great stats, but that's not the case at all. The 39 goals in 44 games may seem decent, but he should've scored AT LEAST 90. Avoid getting this card at all costs, even if you're a Gareth Bale ?fan.

Great dribbling
Great passing for a striker, decent enough if you play him as a wing
Four star skill moves
Good headers
Surprisingly, doesn't get injured often

With most chem styles, he will have 99 pace, but it feels more like 85-90 most of the time
Awful balance and struggles to maintain possession
His 83 strength (88 with hawk) feels much lower in game
Stamina can be an issue
3 star weak foot; he will NEVER score with his weak foot even from 3 yards out with an open net and he tends to use his weak foot often despite having the "Avoids Using Weaker Foot" trait
Nowhere near being clinical when it comes to finishing; he will hit the bar, hit a lucky fan in the 12th row, hit the goalkeeper's right ankle, hit the cameraman... literally will hit anything but the back of the net

Absolutely Brilliant

Note: he has had full chem. IG, due to IG cahnges. I bought Bale for 420k a few weeks back, originally as a secondary striker to my CR7, whom I was lucky enough to pack. And Bale did all I could have asked for. Averaged around 1.4 Goals+Assists/Game, which would be good under normal circumstances. But being a secondary striker, I found it to be brilliant. After 20 or so games, I actually didn't have a pref...

Gareth Bale from Champions League Final @ Kyiv

This is my first review in Futbin! I just had to do it about this Gareth Bale card. My team is stacked with great players (CR7 TOTY, Prime R9, Neymar TOTS, Prime Gullit) but Bale still manages to make that impact when everything is going against me!He will make those runs and get in behind all the defenders. The left foot long shots has that extra dip!All I want t...
