Best links
With his allegiances still lying with Los Angeles FC in FIFA 23 and Wales not providing many viable options, naturally, the best way to get Bale on full Chemistry is to link him to FUT Heroes from the MLS.
One easy way to do this is to go ahead and purchase one of Jorge Campos' FUT Hero cards.
Though only standing at five feet seven inches tall, the Mexican goalkeeper will surely provide a safe pair of hands between the sticks.
If you are looking to fill an attacking role and need links to Gareth Bale, both Tim Cahill and Landon Donovan's World Cup Hero cards are more than usable.
The former has good pace, dribbling and shooting attributes and will set you back roughly 130,000 coins on the PS & Xbox transfer markets.
Landon Donovan, on the other hand, is priced at 315,000 coins. The American possesses brilliant pace, shooting and dribbling stats along with four-star skill moves and a four-star weak foot.
Money to be made
As will be the case for many FUT players, your Gareth Bale card may need a slight bump up in Chemistry with the help of a specific manager.
This can be done by assigning a Welsh manager to your squad.
Such is the increased demand for Welsh managers in Ultimate Team, their price has skyrocketed to north of 4,000 coins.
So, be sure to search your club for managers from Wales, as you could be sitting on a gold mine!
