Player Review
92 - Icon Moment
I have used this card for an entire weekend league and for several rival matches in division one , to start this review let me answer the most common question is he worth doing the SBC to get him? well if your team loaded with great players and you need to strengthen your midfield with a player around 1.5 million you will not find a better player than ballack he is an all rounder box to box player with a good CDM beside him you well have a powerful midfield, i have used ballack as a CDM and as a CM he can preform well at both but using him as a CM that his favorite spot putting him on balanced that when he preform his best for me, i was afraid when i first got him because of his agility and balance so i putt an engine chemistry style on him to fill that gap, yet he still not that smooth he is a really heavy dribbler if you keep the ball at his feet while you opponent pressure you will be in trouble and that is the biggest issue with this card you need to get used to his dribbling to start feeling comfortable with him, other then his dribbling his passing is just out of this world he plays fast and powerful passes with an amazing vision he just make it look easy that plus his attacking awareness is very impressive he is one of those players that you find him in the right place at the attacking end with his powerful shots he is always an option to pass him the ball when you need to strike with a little space his shots are not the most accurate so that means his finesse shot is not that great but he shots the ball with power so he covers his curves with his power shots he scored for me 14 goals in a 34 games for me that is very good for a box to box midfielder, defending with this card is absolutely incredible iwas impressed because i thougt he will be not that effective sence hes def work rate is medium but he is a beast he is extremely strong and active if he contact the opponent player he gets the ball plus he is fast so he can catch up with fast players i know you are thinking of Mbappe and yes he can catch up to him and as soon as he does he gets the ball back and is time for the counter attack.
for conclusion he is a beast in midfield he can do it all his dribbling is an issue but like i said he covers that with his strength and his great passes, he is between bruno and essien or you can compare him to headliner goretzka but on steroids.
for me he is 100% worth the value.
- Great passing fast and powerful with amazing vision and accuracy .
- He can score with his powerful shots, he always find the back of the net when he had the chance great option to pass him the ball when you on the attacking end.
- Amazing strength and physical attributes he can boss the midfield.
- Really good pace as a box to box midfielder he can catch up with the likes of Mbappe and Neymar.
- Super good option in the attack he is one of those players when you see him make the run you do not think twice to pass him the ball.
- Great stamina he can play the 120 minute with no problem.
- Heavy dribbler.
- Bad curve.
