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 meaning then you will be pleasantly relived that this guy is as insane as he was in the red white and black jersey of DIE MANNSCHAFT!!! PACE, PASSING, PHYSICALITY, DEFENDING, SHOOTING, DRIBBLING.. ALL INSANE. But this card is really lacking 1 thing and its agility and balance but based of his height, theoretically speaking he shouldnt be the most agile player so his stats stay true but that does mean he isnt the perfect card. But then we get into the price. You guys will need to fork out an extortionate amount of coins to buy this guy off the market and his sbc value almost touches that price. When you consider the range of midfielders on offer at a fraction of the price it makes hard to decide whether you should fork out that extra coinage for just a little bit of an edge. I have a bunch of gameplay for you guys to see what this ballack really has to offer. WHAT DOESNT THIS GUY OFFER? Little Kaiser aka PRIME MOMENTS BALLACK ICONIC REVIEW!!! Fifa 21 Any support on the video goes a long way and if you have any questions dont hesitate to comment on the video aswell <3

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 million, would be much better value for this card. He is the fully package as a midfielder, and if he had better dribbling, he could have been used competitively. Unfortunately, his dribbling is just not good enough for competitive gameplay.

At 1.7 million, its way too overpriced for what this card offers. You can get cards like Bruno Fernandes, Renato Sanchez and other meta cards for a better price who can give you a very similar, if not better level of performance in-game.

If you’re a Germany, Chelsea, Bayern Munich or Leverkusen fan, I’d advise you to pick him up and give him a go as he is a monster of the midfielder. It will take you 2-3 games to get used to his dribbling, but once you learn that, he’ll decimate your opponents from the middle of the park. 

6.5/10

OVERALL: 8.9/10

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.

So ive been pretty lucky this past 2 weeks gettin Mbappe moments Zanetti and some other walkouts and he came out yesterday. Ive been really wanting to try him out and i did the sbc (the actual one not the loan) . I submitted a prime owen and it was a little sus, because i didnt want to give him up that easily but i regret nothing. Id done a couple of matches in rivals with him and he was fantastic! He had 14 goal contribution in 5 matches (keep in mind im in division 5 so im not the best at the game) I play him as a central attacking mid. He feels a bit like flashback Kroos although he is way better (Kroos is also a starter in my team). Im keeping this honest so he is a little cluncky and isnt the fastest. thats why i play him with a shadow. Hes expensive so if you want a more value for coins player dont go for him but if you have the money or youre just a Bayern/Chelsea/German national team fan go on wahtcha waitin for. For me he really was magnificent. One thing that stands out for me is the fact that he couldnt take free kicks for some reason. Hes got great defending for a CAM. I think hes a definate go if youve got the money. Hes fantastic.

Hi guys, this is my first review here in futbin so I hope you like it :). I'm going to talk about this Ballack Moments beacuse he was released on sbc, I did him beacuse he is an idol for me, and also cause I've got a lot of fodder so I used like 450k on the sbc. in the first 10 matches I've used him as a CM in 4-4-2 and as a CDM in 4-2-3-1 next to kanté what-if and my impressions were really good. 3 goals and 8 assists. with 4 motm.

It worth the sbc? For me yes, he is really expensive (1.2M on ps4) but he gives a great performance. Maybe he is at the level of Rooney SBC, any special cards of Bruno or even Curtis Jones, but he have something really important that this players don't have: chemistry. He hepls a lot with the chemistry, you can put him on any team and he will going to dominate the midfield, so I recommend him, obviuosly if you can afford him. 8/10
