79 - Normal

4.5

More than pace!

By BorussiaBoys, 12-04-2018

Bernard is one of only a handful of players that have remained in or around my first team squad since the game came out (has played 250 or so games). I can honestly say that he is one of the best attacking midfielders I have used this fifa. I like to play with 3 central midfielders (4-3-3) that do different jobs. I like my LCM to be the most attacking (High-medium work rates) whilst the other two are more conservative. Bernard fits this perfectly. His pace (which underpinned by sprindspeed, 94 acceleration!) allows him to burst through opposition midfields, whilst his high levels of agility and balance (including skilled dribbling trait) mean he can change directions as fast as anyone else on the game. If it wasn't for his low levels of composure his dribbling would be 86. He is most dangerous with the ball at his feet doing just that. I like to feed it to him on a counter and run through the opposition all the way into the box. Bernard either plays in a winger or opt to play one-two with the striker to shoot himself. Personally I have found his finishing to be better than 71, perhaps because his positioning is rather good (76). Also, although I have scored more inside the box with him, I have scored many from outside the box, both online and in SB.

Although he doesn't start anymore, he will always be my second choice attacking midfielder.

P.s. Although I would pay anything for a Bernard IF, I honestly believe that his standard levels of really high pace and dribbling mean his in game performance would only change slightly. The only potential radical change a new card could bring is a vastly increased amount of Physicality (which just is not in his game).

Dribbling (92 agility, 96 balance) (Skilled dribbling trait)
Pace (94 acceleration!) (useful when tracking back too)
Good passing
Finishing feels better in game
Tracks back to make tackles (for real does this) 39 standing tackle is genuinely relatively good for a small, weak, pacy attacking midfielders. Only a handful of pacy midfielders have 35+ (see Lingard IF, Felipe Anderson FUT Birthday) pacy

Stamina- gets tired by 70th minute
Poor in the air.
Strength- although I tried to avoid it, there are times when he inevitably gets pushed off the ball.
