In-game feel & playstyle
Jean-Mattéo Bahoya's 85-rated Ultimate Scream card is built around one number: 99 sprint speed. Paired with 93 acceleration and an Explosive AccelleRATE, this is a card that simply runs away from defenders in a straight line. The headline 96 pace is no exaggeration in motion, and with 88 agility and 83 dribbling he turns and carries the ball comfortably in the final third. He is listed as a CAM but the alternate LM and LW positions tell the real story; this is a wide-running attacker who thrives breaking in behind, not a deep playmaker. Sho of 80 and pas of 81 are serviceable rather than special, so you are buying speed and directness, not finesse.
Strengths
- ✅ 99 sprint speed, the standout number on the card, lets him outrun nearly any defender in a foot race.
- ✅ 93 acceleration with Explosive AcceleRATE, quick off the mark so he gets to top speed fast in tight transitions.
- ✅ 88 agility & 83 dribbling, smooth enough on the ball to beat a man and carry into space.
- ✅ 81 passing & 80 shooting, well-rounded attacking output for an 85-rated card.
Weaknesses
- ❌ 60 defending, offers nothing when you lose the ball, so he is a liability if forced to track back.
- ❌ 3-star weak foot, limits his finishing and passing angles off his left, a real ceiling on a Right-footed attacker.
- ❌ 4-star skill moves, good but not the 5-star flair you want from a premium dribbling winger.
- ❌ C meta tier, 78.0 meta score, the pace is elite but the overall package sits below the A and S cards at this position.
Best position, chemistry style & squads
Play him out wide at LW or LM rather than as a central CAM, where his speed and runs matter most. With 96 pace already near the cap, his weaker areas are passing and shooting, so a Catalyst (boosting passing and pace) keeps him quick while sharpening his link-up play. If you would rather lean fully into the speed-and-shooting identity for a winger, a Hunter adds pace, shooting and a touch of defending. He links cleanly through the Bundesliga and a strong France national pool, so building around the Ligue 1-to-Bundesliga French core or a France nation spine gets him to full chemistry without much effort.
Final verdict & ratings
At 31.7K coins, Bahoya is a fun, budget-friendly speed merchant for early-game or chemistry-link squads who want a flank threat that simply cannot be caught. Buy him if you value raw pace and directness over a complete profile. Skip him if you need a meta-defining wide man, two-way work rate or a reliable weak foot; the 60 defending, 3-star weak foot and C-tier score mean he is a role player, not a centerpiece.
Conclusion
All the speed in the game, but a C-tier ceiling. A cheap, genuinely fun option that punishes high lines, just don't expect it to carry your meta squad.
