Player Review

88 - FUT Birthday Obj
2.0
Out of position?!
By Tylophone, 08-04-2020

Such a shame.


Played as a lone CDM or central CM on stay back (41212/4312) with shadow. I prefer the 4312 but saw that the cut passing lanes instruction is key for Bakayoko from some YT reviews.


He always seemed out of place, sitting way too far up the pitch - med defensive workrate is my guess.

No doubt he is strong, great interceptions when actually defending and his passing is great from deep positions but really not sold on him. I'm not a great player, gold 3 when I care enough to play WL, but I feel more shaky with him as my CDM in the above formations than when I shift into a 3412 with attacking instructions.

Such a shame given POTM Ben Yedder and Amavi in my squad mean great options for switching up the team.


Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but not all that unfortunately for me. Back to league SBC Battaglia who is a ROCK!

FIFA 18 BAKAYOKO RETURNS

He is just such a BEAST he was amazing for me in the WL(gold 2 player). He did his job and his defends is such AMAZING!!! He's STRONG on the ball and off. He knows how to tackle a player on the right moment and for a few objectives i did him in 2 hours (i think it could go faster). All i can say just do him he's just as good as 85 Blanc ( in my team too) Sometimes a bit cluncky btw i used him with Shadow.

Defensive presence on steroids

My mans is free just do his objective, you can not go wrong. Not to mention it is relatively easy. With that out of the way... you need to put a shadow on him. That would also be my first con. The fact that shadow is expensive and without it he has 80 awareness. Fortunately he has enough pace to begin with and gets 90+ with Shadow. That coupled with the elite defending, his height, decent agility and elite strength is the p...

Beast of a man

When this dude came out I grinded on his objectives because he looked like a good holding midfielder.He played 18 games for me in wl. He is amazing. He wins all tackles and his physical is good as well. The gaps in this card is the shooting. Bruv ma grandmom can shoot better than him. If u use this card use him strictly as a cdm or cb. His 61 shooting is just tragic. Hes also got that 5 star weak foot.His defending is reall...
