Player Review
86 - TOTS
Hey reader
I used him for a full weekend league as a left back, and I think he is a very good card. The red flags that you will notice when looking at his card are not very noticeble in game and for the price he has to be one of the best cards in the game because of his versatility. Also, that green link to Klaiber is super godly because you can switch them in game and as we all know, Klaiber is still, to this day, one of the best defenders in the game and one of the best CBs in the game. So having a CB that can play fullback in your team when you have Klaiber is very worthy to look at.
When buying Bazoer you are not necessarily buying a game changer in the sense that he will dominate, but you are buying a game changer because he will be competent in his role and will allow another player like Klaiber to be your end game CB or another fullback built from the same cloth as Klaiber.
- Passing is fantastic honestly, even as a LB making most passes on his weak foot, his through balls are still phenomenal and so are his short passes;
- Very strong, has a nice physical presence/size and beats most attackers in the air;
- Agile off the ball, dribbling is not clunky for a defensive minded fullback;
- Good pace if he is in the right position;
- Very good tackling and overall defending, his work rates were not a very noticeable problem for the most part. Him being out of position was not common, so his workrates and low defensive awareness dont ruin this card in my experience. That being said, I always tried to control him on defense to make sure he is in the right spot before switching back to another player;
- Versatile player, can probably play in the midfield aswell and maybe as a wide centerback in a 3 CB formation;
- Good shooting for a defender.
- Cheap as hell, good links for eredivisie sides and most importantly, Klaiber.
- Stamina is not a big issue on stay back and if you don't attack much with your fullbacks, but even then not ideal;
- He doesn't feel very light on his feet when chasing after a player, his pace is good if he is side to side or in advantage, but if the attacker has a few meters on him, he will have difficulties catching up (ik it doesn't make sense because with a shadow he has almost 97 pace, might be his running animation or body type)
