Absolutely Brilliant

By Touborg, 28-10-2017

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 preference between him and Ronaldo. I think that says it all. He still only has a 3 star week foot, but it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. He finishes pretty decently on that side as well. I haven't rated him as too much of a game changer due to the fact I already had a Tier 1 Striker. If I had not had that, that would have been 5 stars as well.

Later I changed formation and pushed him down as a LAM. Naturally enough, his production rate went a bit down. But still the second best attacking player on my squad. To be honest he is a bargain at 500k, imo. I wouldn't sell him for less than 800-850. So if you can find the coins. Buy him. Use him. Love him.

- Pace. Obviously. Runs right by any and every defender like it's no biggie.

- First touches. Last year he was a big sluggish on the first touch. No more. He takes the ball with him, without even slowing down.

- Finishing. If you can get him to an across the body shot, it's a goal to be sure.

- (Arial). He did way better than expected on crosses.

- Longshots. He is basically dangerous when he has just a few meters of space in the final third. try and let them fly.

- Passing. Is a bit mediocre for a LAM. Didn't think about when he was a Striker though, so it isn't that bad. Just on the low side for an Attacking Midfielder. Besides it is still acceptable. Just a minor drawback, if you wanted him on the CAM.

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...

Gareth Bale

The Wonder of the Welshman

He is super fast, creative positioning wise, quite agile and has beastly shooting. What more could you ask for? For me, he is a left footed CR7 that obviously isn't as good in the air or strength-wise, but not too far off. He wins 9/10 headers and is fast enough to leave defenders for dead. With CR7, they have the perfect partnership. His low drivens and powered shots with the right foot never miss due to his shot power.
