Player Review

90 - Flashback SBC
4.5
The Welsh Monster
By Numberbeast51, 01-05-2021

Since I'm a Tottenham fan i had to do this sbc. I know it is a bit overpriced and the card looks bad for the price but OMG! What a player he is ingame. I have played 6 games in the Weekend League with him and he was a gamechanger. I played him as a LCM in a 532 and as a striker in a 4222 paire up with prime Butragueno. I used the engine and finisher chemstyles for the two positions and they worked wonders on him. As a cm he brought the height and the strength that is needed but he also brought his rapid pace and his clinical finishing. As a striker he was incredible as well because he is a master of finesse shots and is really strong so he can body defenders who try to tackle him. I would compare him o flashback Robben but him being much better because of his size and ability to hold himself on the ball without getting bullied of it.

-Pace

-Shooting(especially power shots into the near post) and finesse shots.

-Passing was good at striker but better at cm with a engine chem style

-Dribbling can be an issue for people who are only good with agile players. But for the ones who are great at creating chances through tikitaka or find the through balls that lead him through on goal he is the one for you,

-Defending is not an issue since he isn't a defensive player but 65 defending is enough in the cm role if you have good defensive player around him.

-Physicality is good on bale but it would've been much better if he had more stamina because he will get very tired after the 60th minute if you play him in the midfield but at striker he can last 70 minutes.

-Lower agility than the (meta requires)

-Has to little stamina

-His biggest issue is balance because he will fall of the ball if a defender hits him with speed. But otherwise he can hold his own.

Other Gareth Bale Reviews

Pleasantly surprised

I know for this stage of the game he is about 150k too expensive because of the weak foot and low balance but I have a lot of fodder so I done him because at the end of the day it’s Bale and the sentimental valve for him I’m this game is too much for me not to do. As expected he is absolutely rapid and can leave most defenders in his dust. Obviously the big red flag about this card is the balance but because of his body...

He Is Sick

This s my first review and who best to-do it on than Inform Gareth Bale. They guy is a beast. He is roughly about 100k cheaper than the obvious option that is salah but he is so much better than salah. I have played 10 games with him coming in at 22 goals which is roughly 2 a game. I play him top with neymar and ive also tried him at CAM he is so much better playing uop top then behind the striker.

Gareth!

I've used Bale at left striker in the 41212(2) with a hunter chem style, and he has played extraordinarily well scoring 43 goals in 26 games in div 2 and div 3 rivals.
