92 - TOTY Nominee SBC
5.0
A must have
By Kiwi14, 13-01-2019

I knew before I got it that it would be an amazing player. His gold card is really great. But this one takes the game to another level. His speed and acceleration are incredible. He scores in any situation (magnificent with both legs and a fantastic header!). This card has nothing to envy Ronaldo's or Mbappe's (toty). I firstly used him in his as RM, but then I decided to use him as one of my two strikers. This card should've been an striker position since it's a game changer. I combine him with Mbappe (toty) as strikers and the results are out of this world. They are both extremely fast and will score from any angle. It's worth every single coin of the SBC! The only problem is that he runs out of stamina at around 60' or so.

  • Amazing speed and acceleration
  • Excellent header
  • Very very good when defending
  • Very strong player
  • Perfect at crossing
  • He runs out of stamina easily
  • The price

Fantastic Player (Gareth Bale)
By ReaperEU, 21-01-2019

I've been using Gareth Bale TOTY SBC for about 50 games now in my Squad, and I have to say that he was worth every coin I spend on him.

I use him as RS in a 4222 formation (link to my team in the description), and he is doing an amazing job in that position.

Bale is fast. Like really fast, and in combination with his 87 base strength that makes him almost unstoppable for every defender if you play a through ball.

The finesse shots he's taking are going in like every time, even if I fail the timed finish. And if you hit the green first-touch timed finish, it's not even a problem for him to score goals from 35mtrs or even more distance.

His dribbling is very clean, but not comparable to the likes of Mbappé, Messi or Neymar, I would compare him with CR7, sadly without 5 Star Skills.

His passing is very good as well, but I think that should be standard if a players got 85+ passing.

He's also doing an incredibly good job after corners, thanks to his height (1,85m), jumping (95) and his heading accuracy (89).

But I feel like the most important upgrade this card got was the +6 on his stamina. When I was using the normal Bale a few months ago, I really enjoyed him, but he had to be substituted at the 70th minute.

The biggest problem I see at this card is not even his 3 Star week foot, because he basically doesnt use it very often, but that he can hardly fit into many squads, as the only ways to link him are either Casemiro, Modric, Carvahal IF, Griezmann or Kondogbia.


However, as at the time I am writing this review, his sbc cant be done anymore, I just want to give the people that have done him a little advice for how you should play him:

  • dont let him play as your only ST, because you want to make sure that hes on the right side of the field most of the time
  • make sure not to tell him to defend in his players instrucions, because that would be very bad as his stamina isnt that high


  • Fast
  • Strong
  • Amazing finishing, also ok finishing with his LF
  • very good dribbling
  • heading, especially after corners



  • hard to link
  • balance makes his dribbling feel weird sometimes
  • 1.4 million coins for an untradeable card
