Final Verdict
Rating: 8/10
Bastoni fills a specific niche brilliantly — the left-footed ball-playing CB. In a market where most top CBs are right-footed, Bastoni gives you natural left-side defending and passing. At 8-22k he's a steal. Perfect in 3-back formations (3-5-2, 3-4-2-1) as the left CB, or in any 4-back system where you want clean build-up from the left.
