One of the beautiful stories of English football, the main man for Leeds United Patrick Bamford has a FUT Ballers SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The ex Chelsea man has had a slow start to his career but he’s cemented his place in the hearts of the Leeds faithful after helping them earn promotion to the Premier League.
The FUT Ballers version of Bamford comes in at 22.1K coins and is fairly cheap to unlock.
He isn’t a very good card but he has a few good characteristics such as:
- 92 Sprint Speed makes him good at long sprints
- 88 Positioning, 87 Finishing and 85 Shot Power make him very good at shooting inside the box
- 96 Reactions, 94 Ball Control and 93 Composure make his first time strikes and ball receiving top notch
- At 6’0 with 86 Heading Accuracy make him a decent option in the air
- 93 Stamina allows him to play the full length of games
His ideal role is as an ST playing with a more agile partner in a two striker formation such as 4-4-2 or the 4-2-2-2.
His player profile is similar to that of Road to the World Cup Karl Toko-Ekambi.
His card is littered with drawbacks such as:
- 80 Acceleration is horrible to work with combined with his High and Average+ body type and a lack of Lengthy AcceleRATE type
- With 73 Long Shots, 73 Volleys and a lack of Outside Foot Shot and Finesse Shot Traits his shooting outside the box is very limited
- His Passing is below average and will be very limited
- His 3-Star Skill Moves and 3-Star Weak Foot combination is terrible to work with
- 80 Agility and 81 Balance with 84 Dribbling are too low to compensate for his height and body type making him feel extremely clunky
- His Physicals are very lacking with 79 Strength and 67 Aggression. This is in contradiction to his stocky physique making him feel very odd in game
His boosted FUT Ballers card gets a mammoth boost with all in game Dribbling stats being boosted to 99. He gets minor boosts all throughout the card but none of his weaknesses get covered. He also receives the Finesse Shot Trait. The dribbling stats will not be able to fully compensate for his body type and AcceleRATE type.
To unlock the upgraded 88 FUT Ballers Patrick Bamford you need to score with his 86 rated version in 4 separate games of Squad battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty or Rivals.
What Chemistry Style to use for FUT Ballers Patrick Bamford?
The suggested Chemistry Style for Patrick Bamford is: HUNTER. The +8 boost in pace helps cover the gap in his pace split and the +8 boost to Finishing along with the +15 boost to Volleys make him the best version of himself.
FUT Ballers Patrick Bamford: Complete or Yeet?
Despite being very cheap, the card is a walking contradiction and has a lot of elements that combine to make a truly average card that is frustrating to play with. That being said, for 22.1K you get an 85 and an 88 rated fodder card as well complete a necessary part of acquiring the Guaranteed FUT Birthday Team 1 pack which makes this SBC worth it. My verdict: Complete.
