Hey guys! It‘s my first Review here on Futbin, I hope I can help!
As his SBC already expires on Friday, I wanted to give you guys my first impression of this card!
What can I say? Bellingham's card is exactly what I was looking for in my team. He plays the offensive part in my central midfield (4231(2)) next to Renato Sanches FB and really convinced me not only because of his perfect link to Haaland and Sancho TOTS!
So what are his strengths?
- Defintion of a box-to-box player as he gives you a little bit of everthing! He feels very fast and agile offensively, but is also very stable in defense and convinces me especially with good timing in his tackles.
- Linkability
- 4/4 -> since I had Llorente in my team before, I noticed enormously how important WF and SM are in the center, making my game even more versatile.
- To give you a comparable player I would say he is a better version of Camavinga FS
- good value for money
I wouldn't say they are major disadvantages, but simply things I noticed in the first few games:
- His passing is very good, but not high class
- I wouldn't recommend him to anyone who is just looking for a defensive anchor in their midfield, as he is a bit too small
Conclusion:
It's not a card that completely changes the game, but I think it's a lot of fun and priced really fairly for an Englishman in an SBC. If I had to give it an overall rating, it would be an 8.5/10 for me, but since I've only played 4 games with him myself, that may improve upwards once I get more used to him! Finally, there is not much left to say except that I hope I could help you with your decision and stay healthy!
As a Dortmund fan i had to get him. I always try to get all of Dortmunds special cards when they are SBC so i had to and i do not regret it. He has a lot of good stats but at the same time he has some stats that let him down a bit. So i played him as a B2B in a 4312. His pace was really good nothing wrong there 9 out of 10. Shooting was good too no issues there 8 out of 10. Passing was very good did not really mistake any passes 9.3 out of 10. Dribbling was also really good really no issues there 9.1 out of 10. Defending was good but also some things that were not perfect like his defensive awareness it was not the best but again nor horrible, 8.4 out of 10. Physicality was decent strength and stam are good the other 2 are still good but not as good 8.5 out of 10. So should yo do him? I would recommend him he was very good especially if you play him as a box to box he can defend and attack both very well so he is really good. Im going to give him a 8.9 out of 10 overall.

So when a new Dortmund SBC came out and I saw Bellingham, I knew he could replace my gnabry freeze in 442 to be a more defensive cm. His should not be to much of a problem, especially with all the tots fodder. I played with him in Division 1 and my new bundesliga team. So at first I tried to not play only with him but use him normal as I play normally. Thats why I always was happy when he assisted or scored.
For a B2B Midfielder he is pretty good, his pace is fine with an hunter and he can do attacking aswell as defending. Sometimes he lacks in tackles against big and strong players like gullit but thats normal for players with his height. For that he wins surprisingly many air duels and his stamina is very good, always lasts full game.
His shooting is not outstanding but solid, so if you are really good scoring finesses he could score some goals from out the box, but will not put crazy longshots in. Shots in the box are most of the time dangerous.
His passing is really good and he is always the player with the most passes on the pitch. every short pass reaches your player and he did some pretty decent assists with long passes. I never felt like hed miss any important passes. A perfect assisting CM.
His ball control is really good and no opponent should get the ball from him if you use him right, his dribbling in the opponrnt box was also decent for assisting.
All in all if you need a Midfielder who controls the attacking game and assists, you should do him.

I was slightly hesitant to do the SBC but it's kinda good value and he fits into my english/man u team so I did him. He is a very weird card to use, his stats are great in every category, and he has good stats in the right places such as his interceptions and standing tackles, and his positioning and finishing. The 4*4* on him is super handy, I play him as my middle, more defensive CM in a 4312 (https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/8340242) and the ability to pass out with both feet and use some skill moves saves you in tight situations.
He can score goals and thread nice through balls, his defensive side is lacking and I don't think a shadow is worth putting on him so I went with engine to max out his good stats. The problem with him is that as a CAM there are many better options and as a CDM there are also a lot more options, and even as a CM I still find Mason Mount or PIM2 Bruno a lot better in most regards, although I think the best part of this card is how versatile he is, no matter where he pops up on the pitch he has the ability to play that position and that's what I like about him
