Gareth Bale!

In a recent post I pointed out that I did not have enough coins to buy subs for my Bundesliga side. Well here is the reason. Gareth Bale. He is the most expensive player to ever be purchased by a team in pro football. And he also asks for a very large price in Fifa 16 as well. After buying him for 430k he just barely exceeds the price of Ibrahimovic. Fortunately after playing a few games with him, I am much more impressed by his play compared to Ibra's.

Naturally a right midfielder, I have switched him into a more attacking role of right forward, and placed him at striker of my BBVA squad. He has definitely proved to be more affective up top than he was at right mid. His stats are so all around for a striker its incredible. He is nearly as fast as Aubamayang. His dribbling, shooting, physical, and passing are all over 80, the only stat not over 80 is his defending. The least important stat for a striker. His career started out with being a left back however so his defending stat is still quite respectable.

This guy can literally hit the ball with a big touch, run past his defender and get to the ball again. There are videos of him doing this in real life, and the game is no different. He has two of my favorite player traits in speed dribbler and long shot taker. Although despite his good shooting abilities I have preferred dribbling into the box with him and making things happen there. 

I am hoping his price doesn't go down too much because the expensive players are where you lose the most money. For now he will definitely stay in the squad, because I can't think of anyone in the BBVA worth replacing him with.
