Defensive presence on steroids

By SIMONSAN, 08-04-2020

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 perfect formula for a striker bully. I run him in a 41212(2) as the CDM on stay back+ aggressive interceptions and cutting passes. These factors lead to him defending so well. Heads on against him you have no chance. He obliterates the attacking chance and starts yours with his superb passing. If you switch onto a different defender and let him do his thing, he will come out of no where to... well... cut the passes. If the attacker runs past him he most of the time is fast enough to keep up and definitely strong enough to push him off the ball or good enough to tackle cleanly. After that you just send your attackers to the front and he passes well enough to initiate the attack. Standout cons would be his shooting, but you don't need him scoring goals. His balance is horrifyingly low, but his strength kind of makes up for it. Surprisingly his stamina sits all the way at around 20% after the 75 mins mark. Luckily everyone else is tired then as well, but I did not expect that coming from 88 stamina. So expect him to occasionally be quite far upfront. Heading wise he is a okay but could be improved on.

Overall he is a superb defender with good AI and good passing. The pace needs to be upgraded with Shadow, which also upgrades is relatively low defensive awareness. You don't need him to shoot but make sure not to sprint with him all too often. Instead just jockey and anticipate the next pass.

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.

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...

First, I am not a pro player. The division I am playing is 6th and each weekend league I manage to reach gold 3. I got bakayoko nearly at the ending time of the objective. Everyone can easily fit him in their team since we have good midfielders from France and he has a good link with ben yedder he is one of the players who everyone wants to use and he does not have a price tag just a time tag you wanna spend to get him. Pre...
