88 - Premium SBC
4.5
Dominant tank
By foxhound22, 13-11-2019

Bastian is a true tank who's a great box to box midfielder. He's big and strong in defense, has a great passing foot and a good shot. He lacks somewhat in pace and stamina is an issue, as you'll need to sub him around min 70. But besides that, I'd say he's as good as an icon and reminds me a bit of Ballack on the midfield. I play him below scream Zlatan and with IF Mitrita to the left wing for chem, otherwise I throw him in as a supersub, which works excellently. In sum, he was well worth the coins for me (around 200-220k in total)

  • Excellent box to box midfielder, a tank in midfield
  • Heavy presence in defense, strong and stable, he wins most duels and is big enough to make him difficult to pass
  • Great offensive playmaker with a good passing foot and a good shot
  • Linkability
  • Stamina, I usually sub him around min 70
  • Turns a bit clunky

Better than expected, worth the price
By NPLk, 27-10-2019

This guy is a real beast, at first I thought that he wouldn't be like this, but he is literally one of the best cdms I tried. Im using him in a 4-2-3-1 paired with Tolisso/Goretzka and the way he recovers the ball and intercepts it easily makes my defense better, he can even shot from outside if needed.

-Passing

-Good shooting

-Nice defensive stats in general

-Strong enough to win balls

-With a shadow he has a regular to nice speed, better than decent

-Not the best agility

-He cant hold the ball too much if he is low on stamina, dribble is not enough

-M/M (don't actually see it as a real con)

REALLY REALLY WORTH IT
By IsaacMora, 02-01-2020

Formation in game: 4-3-2-1


I use this beast as CAM, he is really great, I have tried De Bruyne, Eriksen, Sonaldo, Griezmann, Hulk Scream, Lewandoski SIF and bunch of players but he is the best among them.


Just slap an engine and feel that GOD like passes, dribbling (yeah, he is GREAT at dribbling, it seems that the ball is sticked to his legs) and long shots. Just ignore the agility, he is miles better than de bruyne at dribbling and passing.


He is also really strong keeping the ball and also has GREAT defending and aggression.


I just decided to set stay forward for stamina reasons, but he lasts 90 minutes doing great.


Remember I used him as a CAM, not CM or CDM, and he delivered.


I dont know how he has 3WF but banged 2 left footed long shots on the 12 games I played with him in rivals

  • PASSING
  • Aggression
  • Long Shots
  • Defending
  • DRIBBLING, he is a smooth criminal
  • COMPOSURE
  • Reactions

As there are a lot of pros, there will be cons as well

  • Stamina, he lasts 85/90 minutes with stay forward
  • He is not fast nor slow
  • He is not good on 1vs1 situations, but his long shots are LETHAL
  • 3 skills
