Ballack Review

By Evanderiam, 10-03-2021

I decided to gamble on the icon player pick SBC and got mid Ballack. All the other reviewers seem to be playing him as a cm or an attacking cdm, I'm fairly sure he would be excellent in those roles but due to packing Ødegaard what if untradeable I had to use Ballack in a more defensive role. To be frank he is not particularly good and doesn't fit what I want out of a cdm due to jockey speed and general positioning. I played in FUT champs up to gold 3 and in div 2 rivals. The best thing to compare him to is a cb playing in midfield.

One of the best passer I have used,
Shooting seems to be very good.
He is absolutely huge in game and his interceptions are great due to how long his legs are.
He never seems to be low on energy either (due to his stamina)
Always in the right place to start an attack

Caught on the ball easily due to how clunky and large he is
Jockey speed won't be great and that lets his defending down somewhat.
You have to go around him, which is fairly easy and probably wont recover
You have to play a sort of pass and go playstyle with him
Just sort of stands there, he looks lethargic and rarely moves
Seems to always just sit on the edge of the box despite having stack back while attacking instructions and m/h (leaves you open for counters)

I got this guy in an untradeable megapack, so I'll have to use him until FIFA 22. As a first impression he feels a bit clunky. Even that, he still being perfect in all other aspects. Pace is perfect for a CM or CDM. Shooting is incredible, from long shot, finishing or volley. The same with passing, he won't fail any pass or cross. Dribbling is the worst part of this guy, with 188cm and 67 agility, only skills will make him ...

MID Ballack Review

Got this from rewards, was obvs mad excited, packing any icon from rewards is always decent and something we hope for. But what i also got from this card was more than i hoped for, he is fantastic, i play him center CAM in a 4231 formation, I'm a gold 2 gold 1 player and rank2/3 Rivals and have a decent team, with Gullet and Viera as my central CDM's i had no place for him in a position he would typically play in, so CAM se...
