The IF we've been all waiting for.
By wtfiGabor, 28-04-2018

After using his base gold card, I spent 70k on his OTW back in October, and even tho it was a complete waste of coins, I've never been sad about it. Maybe, because in the 367 games I've played with that card, he gave me 250 goals and 178 assists. After that, it was a no-brainer to pick him up for 2 just 2 swap players.

Skills/WF.

Physicality.

Insane pace.

Great shooting.

Great heading, which he shouldn't have, but for some reason does.

Surprisingly good defending, probably because of the strength and aggression boost.

Stamina is enough, because of the H/L, tho I usually drag him back to defend, just because he can catch up to anybody.

Long shots. But I barely ever find him in the position where using them are the only options.

Composure. After using 93 Van Basten and 87 Sessegnon, I do feel the difference.

Volleys, if you want to score a banger. If not, just double tap it and he'll score it 7/10.

Pens and passing. There's room for improvement, but the way I use him, it doesn't matter.

Absolute Monster

Wonderful ST to have. So fast on and off the ball and the ball control it's self is just dirty (amazing). His dribbling means no defender can even touch him. Great to run at defenders with and is VERY effective on the counter attack mixed with his wonderful finishing just makes him an absolute danger. The 6ft is also a great addition to his amazing pace as this makes him a threat in the air and wins most headers against the...

Outstanding

Balde is the absolute best alternative to Neymar in any League1 team, unless you have a spare 400k+ to drop being cheap is not such a bad idea anymore when cards like this exist. He has explosive acceleration off the dribble and off of skill moves, with blistering speed and dribbling skills. Any finesse shot inside 25 yards he will finish, and I found me scoring most of my goals with him after cutting in from the wing and o...

Brilliant player

He is amazing. I'm using him as a sub after 60' minutes in difficult games and he has saved me all the times i've done that. His long shot is amazing. I've scored so many goals in this way and other times he is just in the right place to score and the goals are (again) amazing. On the other hand i think his strong attribute is his passes. He has assist so many goals and help the team win the game.
