78 - Normal
He is an astonishing player, play him with a hawk chem style, I tend to play a style of play of possession passing between the midfield and strikers back and forth in a wave, waiting for a hole and exploiting it. Bartels would play in behind Kramaric and Philipp and the awareness shown to make clever little runs is just amazing to me, picked him up at the start of a game because he was cheap, german bundesliga and had four star skill but I still use him to this day in my second squad, when I could probably afford to replace him.
The goals to game ratio is sick for a 700 coin player but I tend to base my game off solid defence, if I was more accomplished on the attack, I would go as far to say he could have a goal and an assist per game.
His pace
Makes extremely clever runs when in CAM/CF position (has to have instruction to get in behind)
Reasonably good at defending from the front via interceptions
Really good stamina
Dribbles like a dream
Passing quite good
Can be bullied off the ball a bit easy
His shooting takes time to get used to
His left foot shots (unless you put only tiny power on them are terrible)
While trying to find a cheap striker for my Bundesliga Starter Squad, I stumbled upon Bartels, who looked really tasty for only 800 coins. I didn't expect too much, but he completely amazed me and helped my starter squad immensely! His finishing is relatively reliable, but sometimes he lacks composure and misses, but mostly he finishes his chances. With 86 pace, he outpaces most of the stiff defenders due to his really good agility. His dribbling is very decent. However he is weak, keep that in mind though, because he is much more reliable if used with through balls and over the top balls.
