Player Review
93 - Icon Moments
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
