Pure Power (for an insane price)

(First of all, I play him at RCAM or RS) Can't believe this guy's only just over 200k on consoles. I have the feeling it's because he's harder to link this year with CR7 gone and Madrid not having any top tier midfielders or strikers other than a TOTY Modric.So if you can fit Bale in your team you've got yourself a bargain, you will not get a player near this guys caliber for the same price. The best word to describe Bale is powerful. His bursting pace, his 6'1 stature and strength and his powerful cannon of a left foot. I usually use small and agile players as I like to dribble so I thought Bale being so tall would be a problem, I usually can't stand players over 6ft. But he feels surprisingly good on the ball, he's no Messi, but because of his acceleration out of turns is so quick he really feels great for such a tall player. If you can pull off a few skill moves that makes him even deadlier, just a simple step over with Bale can be dangerous because he bursts out of it so quickly. And of course Bale's always going to be an amazing aerial threat too. The only problem with Bale is his 3* WF, just a 4* would make him pretty much the perfect player for me. But even with the 3* WF I score quite a few low drivens from the right side on his right foot, it's not as noticeable as it is with some players. Overall it's not enough to stop me giving Bale 5 stars, he just offers so much and for such a good price this year. I even tried his 92 TOTY nominee loan because I desperately wanted an excuse to complete that joke of an SBC, but it wasn't even a noticeable upgrade to his base card. Which shows how OP he is once you know how to use him to his full potential.

Still the best

Was lucky to pack some quality players to buy and build a squad around Bale. I play him as left ST in 41212-2. He is as always a monster and just unstoppable for defenders. He is simply the whole package you can expect from a forward. His pace is insane along with physique that just takes his runs to another level. He will score you so many goals, also when defenders get...

Incredible!

First time doing a review so here goes!Where to start? This guy is just so so good. I think it mainly depends on your playstyle though. After a few days of playing early access, I realized that while pace and good dribbling is important, crosses and good physical players were a lot better this year so I decided to change my play...
