What A Player

By Zobdab2017, 27-06-2021

Position: LCM in 4-3-3(2) Tactics: Balanced Attack Press After Possession loss 9 depth Instructions: Balanced Attack, Cover Center, Get into box for Cross, Normal interceptions. Chem style: Engine

Moments Ballack is an Incredible B2B midfielder who will very likely be in my endgame squad. He is one of the best in the game and a very complete player. His attacking AI is very good and his shooting and passing range is exceptional. He can hold players off and shrug them of the ball as well. Defensively he is a nightmare for other teams when you press but can sometimes be a little bit slow tracking back if the ball gets passed him probably because of the High Medium but this rarely comes back to haunt me.

Pace: 8.6/10: Once he gets going he feels very fast. He covers a lot of ground and is good at carrying the ball forward or running back to get a leg in to stop an attack. His attacking AI as well as long legs make boost his pace as well as the engine chem style I applied. He can feel a little bit slow towards the ends of games though.

Shooting: 9.4/10: His shots are absolute weapons. Rarely misses good chances and his long shots on his right foot are some of the best. His outside the box finesse are really good as well so playing him as a LCM or LDM is recommended. Penalties are good and he can also score headers. His incredibly high goal contribution rate is thanks to how clinical he is as well as how good he is at getting into goalscoring positions

Passing: 9.0/10: Pretty good, Passing can always be a bit off no matter who you're using in FIFA, but Ballack has good long switches and usually is accurate on short passes.

Dribbling: 8.3/10: His 4* skills, ball control and the engine chem style can partially make up for his lower agility and balance. He progresses the ball when you're in space but if you get in a tight spot with defenders close to him it's best to just pass it to someone else and not try to wriggle out the way you would with someone like Neymar. When his stamina starts going down he does feel noticeably less sharp dribbling so towards the end try to do more 1-2s to progress the ball and not dribbling

Defending: 8.8/10: Ballack closes down space very well, and can win arial duels. He usually makes good interceptions but as I mentioned can be a little slow at times tracking back if someone plays through my press but it isn't very different to most CMs. His pressing is exceptional and his long legs help him make some great tackles to break things up

Physicality: 8.9/10: Very Strong, throws himself into tackles, Jumping is insane for headers in the box and on corners. Stamina isn't bad but he will get a little tired in the B2B role but you won't need to sub him off most the time because he still can do well even if he's a little slower and clunkier.

BALLACK... HOW CRACKED IS HE? is he worth it?

There is absolutely no doubt that this card is phenomenal in a range of different positions making him incredibly unique and versatile but where does he stack up in terms of value? I have used alot of top tier midfielders throughout the year and my current midfield consists of RTTF Pogba and RTTF Sissoko, and boy does this card stack up. This guy is the complete package and if Ballack is an idol of yours or has sentimental ...

AN ALMOST COMPLETE PACKAGE!

FORMATION:I used him as a right CDM in the 4-2-2-2, on stay forward while attacking instructions. Used him with the Engine Chemistry style to boost that dribbling primarily. I used him for 6 games in Div 1 rivals gameplay.VALUE FOR COINS: Anything under 1.2 millio...
