How to quickly complete Bundesliga Year In Review
You are going to need to play 18 games at a minimum to complete this Objective as you can't complete both Sting Like a Bee and Top 5 at the same time. However, if you only care about the XP, it will just take 6 games. Celebration at Mewa, Bavarian Victory, Terrific Tie and Iron Strength can all be completed in just one game.
For me, the most efficient way to complete this will be to build a team for Top 5 first. As you'll already have Leipzig, Union and Bayern players in this team, you can complete Bavarian Victory, Terrific Tie and Iron Strength whilst also completing a game for Top 5. However you can also start any Austrian, this can be from the Top 5 teams (Trimmel, Schlager, Laimer to name a few) if you want to be super efficient.
You don't have to start a Hertha Berlin player in order to complete Relegation Battle. So you can have this player on your bench if you don't want to pay the insane premium for a Bundesliga Austrian from the relevant teams.
Even if you are a fairly competent player I would then take this team into Squad Battles and knock off the goal with Bayern players, Austrian hattrick, Leipzig goals and Union goals in that one game. This means that if you prefer to play for objectives in Division Rivals, you now only have to score and win with a Hertha Berlin player in order to tick off the rest of the achievable objectives.
Once you have done this, you will need to win 8 matches with 4 Dortmund players to finish off the objective and get a TOTS Thuram and a Rare Players Pack.
Is TOTS Thuram Worth Getting?
For me the answer is a resounding yes.
Although he is only 90 rated, Thuram has a lot of stats that should make him an awful lot of fun in game. First off he's 6'4" with 4 star skill moves and 4 star weak foot. He has 98 sprint speed and with 99 strength and 85 agility, he is naturally length and will absolutely tear up the ground.
The best chemistry style for me will be a Marksman. Whilst a Hunter gives Thuram outrageous shooting and that boosted sprint speed, it doesn't give any help to his dribbling. With a marksman you get 94 reactions, 98 ball control and 99 dribbling whilst maintaining lengthy. You also get 99 finishing and 99 shot power combined with 93 jumping.
Whilst he may not break into your main team, for your Bundesliga team, Thuram will be an awful lot of fun to play with and well worth your time to complete. Even TOTS Doekhi, that you get for completing Iron Strength, is a fantastic little centre back who offers really solid links. Especially when you take into account the packs, players and experience you get for completeing the Objective.
