Player Review
87 - FUT Future Stars
First I would like to state I'm a borderline D1 player and played all my games with Bastoni around the 1900 skill rating area. When they decided to come out with my favorite career mode wondered, Sandro Tonali, I knew I had to complete his objective and find a way to link him into my team but did not know how. Then Alessandro Bastoni was released and fit into my team perfectly. Although I like to play "fun" players and not always the meta, I like to play the best meta formations so I used him as a left center back in the 5-2-1-2 paired up with mid campbell, storyline Duncan, future star Dalot, and objective sink graven. From the moment he entered my team he was a complete beast and great all around player. He has great defensive positioning to track players and would often intercept balls with just the AI. I would say 90% of his tackles he kept which is really good for how often in this game you make a tackle that just ends up giving the opposing forward a breakaway. For a center back, he has phenomenal passing and dribbling so you should have no problem playing it out of the back with him. Although his physicals are somewhat low, that seemed to make little difference as his strength felt much better than his stats, his stamina is great for a cb, and has great aggression. His pace is not the most phenomenal but more than enough to get the job done in any situation. For a player that is currently under 200k, he is great value for his coins and recommend you get him if you can fit him.
