Patrick Bamford TOTS Objective Analysis

This TOTS Bamford card is quite the grind during TOTS, but it is not a bad card overall. His three-star skills and weak foot hurt his chances of being in many end-game teams or even reserves, but as an English TOTS striker card that you can achieve for free, he is a solid card.

His shooting stats are great, with perfect positioning and great finishing: Bamford’s positioning being 99 means he will almost always find himself in a great position or run to put the ball behind the net, and his shooting stats mean he will finish his opportunities at a high rate, as long as it’s on his left foot. His physicality stats are solid with solid but low aggression and jumping, which is unfortunate considering his size and high defensive work rates.

For a striker his passing is good, and with a chemistry style such as deadeye or finisher, he will be a useable striker for your English or Premier League squad if you lack a great number 9 upfront. Compared to players you may have already earned throughout the game cycle though, he could be useable, however, he does lack some of the stats that make a “meta” card in FIFA 21, including at least four-star skills or weak foot as well as high-level dribbling and pace stats.

Overall, this is a solid card: not the most “meta” card but Bamford is definitely good, but for the number of games and grinding you must complete to unlock him, during a promo like TOTS where players are focused on earning the top cards through packs and weekend league, his value is not too high, unless you’re a Bamford or Leeds or English fan.
