Ballack Just Oozes BDE, Classy Player

By TheSquadGuru, 09-01-2022

I was fortunate enough to pack this guy in my base/mid icon pack from swaps. AS soon as you see German pop up your heart usually sinks thinking of the likes of baby Klose and Schweiny. Much to my surprise, out walks BIG D*** BALLACK. What a classy player this guy has turned out to be. Absolutely MASSIVE in game, both metaphorically and literally. This guy takes up a huge amount of space on the pitch, perfect for a player in his position. If I had to draw comparison, I used the WW Milinkovic-Savic for a hot sec until I packed Ballack. I'd say they are relatively similar, but Ballack's work rates make the difference. Being Med/High makes him the perfect player for 3 back formations, as he is quick to get back on defence and is always hounding the man on the ball. He's a great distance shooter and I never feel shy about stepping up and ripping one from 25 out with Big Mike. Honestly, the best attribute this boss has to offer is his PASSING. If you have .5 seconds to lift your head, this guy can put the ball on a plate for any player anywhere. His long passing is just simply unmatched. Dont expect this guy to be a rapid pace fiend running up and down like a banshee, just watch him glide across the pitch and swing his massive hog around the field.

Passing from the gods
Weak foot isnt weak
Literal Giant
great work rates
Hung like a horse

Stamina maybe, for a CM box to box he can make it 90 but usually needs a sub by 70ish
A bit slow sometimes but thats not his game
Can't dribble like Messi, don't use him like that, just be a shooter and distributor.
