90 - World Cup ICON SBC
I had quite a few unused, high rated cards and decided to throw them at this SBC.
He's now the key to my 4-5-1 formation, sitting solo as a CM. I put an Engine chem on him to get a bit more pace and to make his passing & dribbling as good as possible. He now moves around the pitch with ease, taking the ball from anyone who dares try to dribble him.
The very best, most commanding central midfielder I've used in Fifa 23. Bar none.
He takes the ball from opponents every time. You can't push him around. Stay out of the middle if you want to score because Bastian owns the central midfield and he doesn't like intruders on his land.
He's worth every coin you spend to get him. No regrets.
No cons. Given his defensive awareness, if you give hime an Engine chem, his pace is more than enough and his dribbling and passing become top-shelf.
