I want Roberto Baggio, despite the ‘Classic No. 10’ playing style.

Let me explain my inner struggle. I was about to be swayed by the Italian pack featuring Buffon, Pirlo and Zambrotta. Then I learnt that next Monday the pack featuring Roberto Baggio, Romario and Lothar Matthäus is coming out.

As far as I’m concerned, Roberto Baggio is the greatest Italian player of all time in his position. He’s definitely my favourite player and, what’s more, I’ve been waiting for him since the dawn of eFootball. Right now, I’d have the resources to pick him up, but there’s something holding me back. I’m talking about the ‘Classic No. 10’ playstyle. It’s not meta and is probably one of the least popular playstyles in general. That said, however, we’re talking about a fabulous card with insane stats and incredibly important skills.

In the same pack as Baggio, we have Romario who, as you all know, is one of the strongest strikers in the game. I don’t have a ‘goal poacher’ as strong as him in my squad. As for Matthäus, he too needs no introduction. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest ‘box-to-box’ players in the game.

Of the two packs, the one that appeals to me most is undoubtedly the one with Roberto Baggio, mainly for sentimental reasons.

However, as I’ve already said, I can’t deny that that playing style leaves me rather perplexed.

I’m turning to you for your opinion on the ‘Classic No. 10’ playing style. Do you think it’s such a negative style, or do you consider it valid?
I realise that a player’s special abilities must also be taken into account, regardless of their playing style. Team play and the fact that every single player has a different ID must also be considered. However, you are probably better placed than I am to explore all these points. Please help me understand what to do. Thank you.
