93 - Premium SBC
5.0
Awesome Player
By TheFutties, 24-01-2023

I always loved Bale and I've got a lot of fodders, so I decided to do his SBC and just use him in a fun squad, where I don't look much at chemistry. I switch the formation ingame to a 4-3-2-1 and use Bale as a ST with 1 chemistry (in the linked squad, I forgot the welsh manager, who gave him 1 point there). Many of my friends use squads without full chem (they play in Div1-4), so I tried it out for myself (I play in Div4) and I really can't feel a difference to my main squad (with full chemistry). I played 10 matches as I wrote this review (all in rivals) and I won 8 of them. Bale feels just great, he got a superb ball control, nice dribbling and very strong short and long shots. The only downside I explored was his pace, because he feels way slower then his card is showing you, even with a Hunter, but that is "okay", when you learn how to use him (as a finisher or a playmaker with offensive abilites). Another downer was his stamina, so I needed to switch him out around 75+ minutes, but that can be connected to my fast passing playstyle maybe. In these 10 games, he scored 14 goals and gave 10 assists, what is very good and also unexpected, because I thought he wouldn't shine that much in case of the low chemistry. When you got the fodders and want some fun, you should do him - I had much fun and way more fun than with my main team (what is a bit sad, but okay). I will try him out more and maybe edit this review, if its possible.

  • very good with the ball
  • strong enough to hold the ball
  • nice dribbling/very agile
  • good at corners (great headers and always in the right position)
  • great shooting (short or long rage)
  • nice at passing the ball/assisting his team mates
  • not as fast as the card shows, even with a Hunter
  • stamina feels lower, so it is needed so switch him out after 75+ minutes

Bale the Welsh Sniper

Being a diehard Spurs fan i had to get this card no matter the chemistry it will lack in my squad. So with complete joy and curiosity i sent Bale into the toughest competition possible tro try him in tough conditions and really see how good he is. I can say that after 10 games in Fut champions he has seriously surprised me. Doesent fell clunky at all, maybe a little heavy with bad gameplay but otherwise he feels incredible....

The Welsh Golfer

By far, this is one the best card I've tried this year. He's fast, he scores, his shots are stunning... 6 matches played, 7 goals and 4 assist with 0 of chemistry.His pace is unbelievable and that 90 of strenght helps him A LOT... He bullied Theo Hernandez and Militao TOTY, Cancelo, Walker, Mendy... No one was able to stop him.The shot is crazy: powerful and precise like his swings on a golf court (I don't nee...

Excellent super sub

Possibly one of the best super subs I've used in this FIFA. Usually I sub him on during the 2nd half at RW in a 433 flat. His pace late in the game makes him a massive threat on the wing, and his passing, shooting and dribbling make him a potent player late in the game. He is also insane at corners, his 99 heading stat has allowed him to score numerous goals from corners stealing wins from late game corners.
