The Card Balotelli Deserves

By AHairyApe, 02-12-2019

I'm a big Balotelli guy. From his antics to the amazing highlights he's had with Inter, Milan, City, and others, I needed to go and get this card. I run a hybrid Serie A/Bundesliga team and had him up top paired with Scream Muller. I needed an extra boost for WL and he did not disappoint. In 28 WL games he scored 23, having hat tricks in his first two games. A sniper on this card makes him absolutely unstoppable. He's got more than enough pace to get in behind and is strong enough to hold up play. Be careful when going against big strong CBs because if his strength isn't enough, his low balance can knock him off the ball. Don't do any crazy/rushed passes or skills either. His passing isn't the greatest so don't get too creative, he's had his share of bad turnovers. The 78 rating though is better than most strikers so I can't really complain. Don't mind his work rates, they can be overridden with custom tactics, making him even more dangerous. I think one thing people under rate about this card is how well he can press, he seems to always react perfectly to intercept a pass from the back line or keeper and can finish the easy ones. His stamina coming in at 75 is not ideal, but he doesn't seem to chug during the match. I take him out as one of my subs anyway so it doesn't bother me. This card is going to stay for a long time in my squad, he's THAT good.

Balotelli The Beast!!

First I thought: I’m not doing him. But I still did it. He is a absolute beast. His balance isn’t a problem at all. He dribbel past the defenders like there is no one. His skill moves are so smoot and he also dribbel really smoot. The best about this card is his shooting. When takes a schot he scores. Played 3 games scored 7 and 1 assist. If you want to see some gameplay I played so matches on Marcoronie73 on Youtube.

The italian Zlatan

When I saw this card I immediately decided to get it, no matter the cost, but the really acceptable price tag made it easy. I now used him for 17 games entirely in Weekend League and to be honest his pace, dribbling and strength made it easy to create chances. He played as my right striker beside 90 David VIlla and in front of 88 Pirlo and outperformed both of them. I would recommend this beast of a human being to anyone wh...

Let me be blunt: This guy is a major disappointment who does not live up to his stats in the slightest. He feels like his gold card, seriously.PACE: this guy feels like he has 75 pace, it's disgusting. Even with a hunter this guy can't run past ANYONESHOOTING: extremely underwhelming, consistently misses the easiest of chances. You give him 5-6 good chances in a game and he might put away...
