What should I say...
I instantly completed Bastian Schweinsteiger as he is one of my idols and the World cup win of Germany 2014 was the first I really watched as a little German boy with 13 years of age with Basti as the ultimate leader and captain. I play him as a box to box midfielder where he is so good, he wins nearly every tackle, passes are insane and his overall presence on the pitch is unbelievable. Also played him as a 10 in Div 1 / Elite where he takes the sickest long shots and free kicks I've ever seen for me. I did an artist chem style on him to push his balance, agility, dribbling and his passes even more as his pace feels already decent. I'm sure he would do also an amazing job as a cdm. For 800 k he is so cheap and the perfect midfielder..
+ insane passing
+ longshots and freekicks
+ decent pace
+ amazing tackles, physicality and stamina
- maybe his aggression is sometimes to high but didn't find something negative besides that
this is my first review and i will write a few others since i just created my account. but anyway Schweinsteiger is actually crazy if you play him in the center. his workrate helps you in defense for interceptions and suprisingly a good physical but will also help you in attack by staying outside the box and have crazy long shots. i recommend you to play him at CDM or CM with a shadow chemistry style next to a pure defensive midfielder.

long shots
pace with shadow
interceptions
workrate
3* skills but i don't skill too much so didn't bother me
Read pros if you just want to know if he is worth the valueHello guys! Sorry for my English, but here is my review on Basti. I use him in a 4-4-2, I got to admit my team is cracked and any player would play great. Basti is my all time fav player ever, so when his SBC came out, there was no doubt I had to do him. At first every shoot I took hit the crossbar. Im not exaggerating, in 5 games I easily hit the post 15 times. It was horrible, his passing is amazing, and he is an amazing box to box CM. For 500k I have to admit its expensive, but you guarantee a very good box to box CM or even an amazing CDM. He has a weird animation that sometimes he takes 1 second more to do what you tell him to do. Like in shooting, rarely he does a weird animation and it messes the play up. I think he is amazing to play a quick wall pass with, he has the pace and will finish inside the box if needed. if you loose the ball and are getting counted, he ALWAYS tracks back, and gets the ball back, its crazy. He sprints up and down the field during the 90 minutes, and still has 65 stamina left after the game, he never gets tired. Try him, but don't give up on him after 2 games, give him 10 game try, and you will get the best out of him.
8/10 recommend due to price!
I use him as a CM in a 4-4-2
Pace: Honestly, very good pace, he might feel a bit heavy when turning but running straight he is pretty fast. Doesn't feel like 88 pace, but more like 85. I think he is a lot faster when you don't control him, like if your running with another player and he is running next to you for a pass. But honestly, pretty good *7.5/10 Pace*
Shooting: I really enjoy shooting with him outside the box, finest shots are very very good, most go on target. You won't score ALL the time but you will cause damage. ( corners, rebounds, goals) Inside the box he is deadly, won't usually miss. *8.5/10 shooting*
Passing: I have TOTY Jorginho and trust me, Bastians passing is amazing. His through balls are nuts, and his over the top balls are amazing. *10/10 passing*
Dribbling: Like I said, he won't be Mbappe with the ball, turns slightly slow, but he is a CM, what do you expect right? *7/10 dribbling*
Defending: He is great at interceptions, very good defending, wish there was more headers, but will steal many many balls *9/10 Defending*
Physical: he is good on the ball, he won't get pushed much, he is good with his body *8/10 physical*
Weird animation every once in a while when shooting or passing
If your loosing a game, you might want a more offensive player
I've used him in 258 games so far, has never been cut from the squad. For me he is an absolute beast, intercepts every ball, pushes attackers off with ease and tackling is jammy gets away with the ball 99% percent of the time. Though he has 3-star skill moves and a 4-star weak foot, he still does the job for a cm. The 4-star weak foot sometimes feels like a 5-star, I've hit so many longshots with this guy more than my main strikers. He is on par with kdb for the most part and I don't know how. He has the most passion out of any card I've used and it feels like his stats arent real.
