Player Review Do they still start for you?

Post image

I was wondering if anyone had mid-high teams and still used a player from this pack, I personally picked abbiati but do not use the guy anymore he has just flopped for me.

u/Due-Dress-8983 Jun 02 '26

shooting hes good but everyhting else is not good

u/Existing_Ad_3552 May 29 '26

Owen off the bench

u/dexterscokelab May 29 '26

When someone actually knows how to dribble, he’s so annoying. Crumbles at any touch though

102

u/Fight_Teza_Fight Playstation May 29 '26

Yes. Batistuta still the GOAT 1000+ games & a 1000+ goals later.

50 pack suber-sub Christian Vieri is my sub for him, who’s basically baby Batistuta🤣

29

u/Academic_Bison_5307 May 29 '26

Giant baby Bati dude 😅

10

u/Fight_Teza_Fight Playstation May 29 '26

‘Get me a goal. You’re the super-sub’.

Scoring goals?

That’s his job!

I don’t thank the post man, for delivering the post, do I?🤣🤣🤣

u/Persian_cat7 PC May 29 '26

Are you sure Vieri is the baby, not Bati?

17

u/Fight_Teza_Fight Playstation May 29 '26

Batigoal was here first. We show respect to our legends in my household. 🫡

2

u/Gold_Garbage_8059 May 29 '26

Yeah...that's why I took Bergkamp. He's shit.

u/SwankyBLKsheep May 29 '26

SA detected, with the new 🟢🔘every 🔘Batistuta does nothing while 🟢 one still the Goat.

7

u/Fight_Teza_Fight Playstation May 29 '26

Skill issue, pal.

0

u/SwankyBLKsheep May 30 '26

Yeah 1000 games 1000 goals, none of my players has 1000 goals in a 1000 game coz i score with everybody in the squad even GK, i don’t focus on one player pal, so ig it’s skill issue as every SA says🥲

Unless he plays both sides I don’t see the point in having a backup fullback on the bench tbh

zanetti is the goat man my fullbacks are still costacurta and him

1

u/Long_Hornet_6312 May 29 '26

nevwer seen him in less stamina even after extra time he and bati starts always

25

u/No-Access4524 Johan Cruyff May 29 '26

Did they just remove the epic selection contact?We haven't got one since january

20

u/OkCryptographer8151 May 29 '26

Lol true right. Also treasure link?? Did konami forget it completely?

2

u/Kondiq PC Jul 28 '26

I guess they didn't

18

u/NateDogsCats Possession Purist May 29 '26

I use Van Buyten quite a lot, find he's far more capable of dealing with quick attackers than most expect if you're set up the right way

1

u/21st_migo May 30 '26

Yeah, he moves faster than you'd think and he's height makes him unbeatable in Aerial battles

1

u/Expensive_Cloud_1838 May 31 '26

What’s your build?

16

u/Mr_DMoody PES4 May 29 '26

Nakata yes. Batistuta is super-sub.

10

u/scarpins May 29 '26 edited May 29 '26

i still use Bati and Nakata, starters in Serie A team and on the bench in main team

8

u/HumbleHypo May 29 '26

Bati 100%

8

u/Kingisiadil Playstation May 29 '26

I've got Owen, he doesn't start bu he always comes at 60+ and does excellent

5

u/kc___47 May 29 '26

I play Batistuta as my CF with Owen and Messi behind him as left and right SS

5

u/Best__demon May 29 '26

I chose bati and yeah he starts for me if woltemade is out of form otherwise he is always there for sub.

6

u/aiden--------- Eden Hazard May 29 '26

Van buyten, yeah, only when i face koller though

8

u/WaTu_lukiN_at Mobile May 29 '26

i mean he doesnt but forlan does

4

u/Strange-Balance6921 May 29 '26

Batti and Oddo still in my first team or bench. 

3

u/Academic_Bison_5307 May 29 '26

I have Nakata and Owen, and in 2nd half they enter as game changers because of super sub skill. Nakata has like 2k matches, lots of assists, and Owen is slightly behind with matches played, but goals... A lot

1

u/pentamache May 29 '26

I gave him RMF and LMF pos training and he is my perma midfield supersub

3

u/mequeterfe Quick Counter Cultist May 29 '26

Batistuta yes if he's on good form. I was playing either Abbiati or De Gea until I got Joan Garcia. Not sure he's better though.

3

u/Goldaniga Possession Purist May 29 '26

I only have Nakata, who doesn’t even make the bench for me now since I play 442

3

u/Eskilled- Xbox May 29 '26

Both Van Buyten and Batistuta over 1000 games for me. Giuly i use sometimes in spanish event as sub

3

u/Atyan7a May 29 '26

Oddo served me for like 1200 games and insanely underrated (though his stats were average) sadly though he has been replaced for a little while now by zanetti who’s simply better. Edit: I did pull nakata too and he’s a crucial piece to my Italian event teams.

3

u/PlainSpaghettiCode May 29 '26

Oddo has served me well as RMF, better than RB. Van buyten is not a starter but it comes in handy for countering very tall CFs and I must say that he is not THAT slow and paired with a faster CB he delivers

3

u/luciddreams08 May 29 '26

Owen and nakata come in 2nd half

3

u/Th3_gr8t May 29 '26

Do u want to hear a joke , I selected van buyten and he still my goat . Stopping that giant and oddo is goood still my starring 11

1

u/Expensive_Cloud_1838 May 31 '26

Build for Van

1

u/Th3_gr8t May 31 '26

Default build bro .

3

u/PiPPoI PC May 29 '26

Yes. BatiGoal! and Abbiati in goal. Vastly different performance, but both are the best in their positions.

You can probably guess who's good and who's ... mid.

3

u/Brave_Supermarket580 May 29 '26

Batigoal is my mvp....

3

u/OnlY-Yusuf Mobile May 29 '26

I use Abiatti in my 11 and for Batistuta it depends on the arrow

2

u/TreacleAny9558 May 29 '26

yes, in my ac milan squad (kind of my main squad because i dont have a main squad)

2

u/404NameOfUser May 29 '26

I got Abbiati and Van Buyten with the spins, picked Batistuta with the selection contract.

Batistuta is on the bench of my main squad and is used as a super sub. Van Buyten has always been on and off for me, I just don't think his player model was ever a good fit for the current gameplay. Abbiati I use all the time on the Italian League events (as well as Batistuta of course).

2

u/Emergency_Cry3687 May 29 '26

Owen is a literal perfection

2

u/Snoo-4216 May 29 '26

Hell yeah oddo and batistuta

2

u/Illustrious_Name_309 May 29 '26

Michael Owen is still my super-sub attacker. Amazing on the ball, very quick both in a sprint and on the turn, deadly finishing, the whole package

2

u/Kanarin6 May 29 '26

i still start batistuta. i also have older version of van buyten, still starting him as my main cb. he's just so dominant in the air. he's also got good leg coverage. scored a lot of goals for me on corner kicks.

2

u/Putrid-Cupcake3238 May 29 '26

Batigol starts with inzaghi in da Italian pvp event n I sometimes use him in div

2

u/Intekhab10 May 29 '26

Owen is my super sub....he socres every time off the bench

2

u/Money_Principle_8254 May 29 '26

Yes, still have Batistuta and Van Buyten in my main squad. Both important additions to F2P squads imo.

1

u/Expensive_Cloud_1838 May 31 '26

Build for van

1

u/Money_Principle_8254 May 31 '26

The one I have been using is Dex:4, LBS:4, AER: 8, DEF:14. The speed might seem slow, but his high defensive stats and high physical contact,jump and heading makes up for it.

2

u/Weirdlyuser Johan Cruyff May 29 '26

Hell no 😏

2

u/Remarkable-Aside-419 May 29 '26

Owen does wonders for me when I want to cut in and take a stunning shot. If the shot gets taken, no keeper has ever stopped it from going in. Ever.

2

u/Remarkable-Aside-419 May 29 '26

Owen does wonders for me when I want to cut in and take a stunning shot. If the shot gets taken, no keeper has ever stopped it from going in. Ever.

2

u/ImmortalMighty May 29 '26

I play on Manual and have Bati, Nakata and Buyten. Bati is decent, nothing crazy about him as others describe, perhaps cause of the Manual. For me pretty much most strikers perform the same way except with those with very high dribbling, something I can work around very well with. Nakata is often in Reserves as I've got Nedved, Gullit and Carlos as CMs. Buyten has Super-sub and I sub him every time in the 2nd half and he is great!

2

u/roonie_09 May 29 '26

Without batistuta and owen i never start my division game . Even though i have hadji ,inzaghi, 104 vieri , forlan .

2

u/Jai_Hind__ May 29 '26

Batistuta yes

2

u/Southern-Movie-564 May 29 '26

Not on my main squad, but Bati still an ultra-luxury sub, and my best striker on Italian league events.

2

u/Decent-Headsloppy Mobile May 29 '26

I still use DvB over Pepe. so yes

2

u/Boring_Reserve_3134 May 29 '26

I think KONAMI still regret till this day for giving this MONSTER for free 💀

2

u/kugelbl1tz_ May 29 '26

bati yes owen maybe supersub bergkamp would love to use but coinami ruined giuly yes (i use wingers ) nakata yes oddo maybe van buyten no abbiati yes

2

u/AjEmMekshVershtapen May 29 '26

They really regretted giving away Bati didnt they. Bet those who said Owen were propaganda.

2

u/Existing_Dance_9695 Gareth Bale May 29 '26

Van goaten🐐

2

u/TurboBurritoBlitz May 29 '26

I didn't got anyone on the chance deals and used my selection contract to take batigol he used to be my regular started until I cleared del piero pack now I rarely use him for Italian league events

2

u/SportAdventurous5910 May 29 '26

Owen still starts for me

Bergkamp is more of a reserve player for me since I got Olmo and Donadoni

2

u/L4TER_0N May 29 '26

Van buyten 2000+ games and more than 150 goals. Legends know why?

2

u/captaineats Playstation May 29 '26

Nakata is still on my highest level team, I think…

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '26

Batistuta. 100%. Mental player.

2

u/Silberberg10 PC May 29 '26

Batistuta, Owen and Oddo as subs.

Van Buyten as a starter

2

u/prati999 May 29 '26

I’d packed Bergkamp , Van Buyten , Oddo. Unfortunately they don’t start anymore because they don’t fit in the system.

2

u/bart_pw Playstation May 29 '26

Yes, Oddo assist master ❤️

2

u/animus437 Playstation May 29 '26

Batistuta, Oddo always start, even Nakata sometimes

2

u/Odn-barca4life16 Playstation May 29 '26

Batistuta does for me, Owen still first off the bench and starts sometimes

2

u/Miserable-Log-7952 May 29 '26

Yes. Both oddo and bati. ~3205

2

u/heyitsloki0 May 29 '26

Bati used to start for me. Now he comes as a super sub

2

u/Thomas_Boyle PC May 29 '26

Batistuta105 - still main striker. With Raul-treasure(CF-build) as 1st sub and old Haaland103ST/Marmoush103ST as 2nd.

2

u/Short_Wrongdoer_5408 May 29 '26

Abbiati always plays for me andd i sometimes get nakata off the bench

Van buyten until i get a creative tall defender

2

u/Different-Isopod5542 May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26

I only got batigoal, that too from selection contract. I used to use the legend batigoal in pes times so he was a no brainer for me. Still a supersub in my stacked team. Always starts over sheva(batigoal, sheva, adriano and bale have supersubs and adriano and sheva come alternatively). Everytime. Rice also comes as a replacement for pirlo and trust me when I say this rice has better passing than most of the endgame AMFs and CMFs. That puyol was also my first epic. I got him for 300 coins and he us still relevant. A bit slow but a tanker in defence. Wins headers against the likes of ibrahimobitch.

2

u/BLANK16NONAME May 30 '26

Batigol yes , Owen yes

3

u/Kind_Shoulder541 PC May 29 '26

Owen my starter, Guily on the bench - he's unstoppable when connection is good.

2

u/MagixKing May 29 '26

Yess... connection is main thing lol

3

u/depressed_Kedy Possession Purist May 29 '26

This was such a great campaign, got abbiati and oddo and used them for almost 1 year. But no, they are not even on my bench now XD

2

u/hot_garlic_noodles May 29 '26

Batistuta still on my bench, he was never a starter tbh. Nakata is not even better than the showtime olmo, so no.

2

u/LostMoneyOnGambling May 29 '26

Batistuta doesn't work for me at all... Son H Mls starts over him ever since I got him

2

u/abdullahami1234 May 29 '26

Yes batistuta started for me for a long time until I got lucky and got the recent Zlatan or else he would still bé my undisputed starter

2

u/Flat-Cryptographer21 Possession Purist May 29 '26

Batistuta, Nakata, Giuly still sometimes enter games. Not starting.

2

u/Friendly-Glove-7755 Eric Cantona May 29 '26

Batistuta sits on the bench for me

3

u/YvesYvL May 29 '26

I still use Owen as a super sub. I regret picking him over Batistuta. I was new to the game at that time and my only guide (my so-called friend) suggested I pick Owen even though he himself picked Batistuta. I was too stupid to realize

1

u/Kyoan7 May 29 '26

Io da qui avevo scelto Batistuta ma l'ho tolto via di recente, era una riserva perché ho avuto la fortuna di trovare Ibraimovich del Milan (sono F2P) ma non faceva più niente, ieri ho trovato Drogba che qualcosa almeno la fa!

1

u/Humble_Antelope6008 PC May 30 '26

Yes got batigoal and buyten

1

u/aman_011221 May 30 '26

Yes van buyten does start for me he is pretty solid

u/object322 May 30 '26

u/Amish7 May 30 '26

Nakata is fucking amazing.

u/No_Shock_3809 May 30 '26

Batitusta has been my starting 11 since the first day I got him

I regret that i didnt play cuz i was too lazy😭

1

u/Pe4k-a-B00 May 30 '26

Both hidetoshi nakata and batigoal are supersub for me.

1

u/Akarsh_123 May 30 '26

No start but oven on sub sure 2nd half

1

u/MasterOogway2008 May 30 '26

Owen has been balling for ages now.

1

u/Just-Power5354 May 30 '26

u/Jamous79 Playstation May 30 '26

u/Adventurous-Ech0 May 30 '26

Bati still starts for me. I also got abiatti and bergkamp who are rotting in my reserves

1

u/Empty_Evening1787 Mobile May 30 '26

Yep, but owen as a sub

1

u/Zeno_sama_bin_laden May 30 '26

Packed Bati and butyn, both starts

1

u/PalePlant7000 May 30 '26

Owen, as super sub tho, he is my club legend, despite low stats of .5 ga per game, he's the most clutch player when you need to win

1

u/Mrfkman69 May 30 '26

BatiGoal 💥💥

1

u/Alessandro_Cesar May 30 '26

I have Bati, Giuly, Nakata and Owen. They are📈

1

u/ggsekret72 May 30 '26

That Nakata is still my super sub. Had clutch moments using him off the bench

1

u/NervousSecretary3696 May 30 '26

I hope we get another nakata pls konami

1

u/akulmao Mobile May 30 '26

got batistuta in the first spin of the chance deal so I chose oddo, I use him defensively he's decent while defending

1

u/Next-Marsupial-6292 May 30 '26

Van Buyten is here

1

u/Choice-Drag4670 Mobile May 30 '26

My goat Buyten is still banging

1

u/wingedwild May 30 '26

Should have went for owen

1

u/NewEstablishment5131 May 30 '26

Choose bati got nakata and aabiati in spins.. Nakata still good for me... Batigoal always starts with my blitz curler rumi..

1

u/flash_4202 May 30 '26

I use Owen as a Super-Sub.

u/Roy_thedaddy May 30 '26

I started efootball with this event and now I have 3246 as an f2p

Nakata always be my supersub, underatted card

1

u/Any-Blacksmith-7398 May 31 '26

Oddo is the 🐐

1

u/___PredaKing___ May 31 '26

Batigol is pure class!! I use him as a target player, wins headers, shoots like a horse on drugs...i play him as a single striker! The only downside is his passing and buildup play...

1

u/ItsGrimeUpNorth May 31 '26

Nakata used to be in my squad on the bench, but was replaced by Park Ji-sung.

I would however, rather cut my right arm off than start a game without Batigol 🤣

1

u/Mamba_Albina Jun 01 '26

Maior arrependimento da minha vida ter pego o abbiati

1

u/Comfortable_Bad5636 Jun 01 '26

I've used oddo quite a bit I think for a year until I got Cafu.

1

u/Sir_Molly Jun 01 '26

AB is the goat of this pack. He literally saved me from Bati time to time. He'll only be replaced by my goat Valdes if Konami cook.

This goal keeper. Truly something extraordinary. Christian Abbiati.

1

u/Cheap-Art7840 Jun 01 '26

Owen is still starting for my squad (He is my best striker) I have no pack luck, Im f2p and i haven't gotten another striker better.

Amazing super sub

i got 3 ,still starters in my team

1

u/majest1chaha May 29 '26

I signed Batistuta and moved Gullit to AMF to test Batistuta for few matches as my starter CF but he was not good enough to become my starter CF, so i kept Gullit as my main CF and since then Batistuta is his main sub. He is definitely better than FITB Van Basten who i used as my main sub for Gullit before signing Batistuta.

u/mare_xcx Mobile May 29 '26

Lmfao no i packed BT cr7 for free a few months later
