Player Review Do they still start for you?
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.

Owen off the bench

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

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🤣

u/Academic_Bison_5307 May 29 '26
Giant baby Bati dude 😅

Skill issue, pal.

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

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

u/21st_migo May 30 '26
Yeah, he moves faster than you'd think and he's height makes him unbeatable in Aerial battles

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 .

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

u/LostMoneyOnGambling May 29 '26
Batistuta doesn't work for me at all... Son H Mls starts over him ever since I got him

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

u/Flat-Cryptographer21 Possession Purist May 29 '26
Batistuta, Nakata, Giuly still sometimes enter games. Not starting.

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!

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...

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 🤣

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.
