THE Sweeper Keeper

By palthos, 09-01-2018

Ederson OTW is my GK for the rest of FIFA 18. This review is written based on his first IF upgrade.

Ederson is a top notch keeper with great stats, but currently a lack of in-game traits/specialties to put him over the top.

Given the current state of defensive lineups, Ederson has a lot of chemistry link possibilities.

You need to want to use Ederson in order to justify his price. Don't be afraid to press Y and have him charge out early, as he will want to do this. The 90 reflexes come into play here, as he will often make some clutch saves to save you when you mess up and let a defender through. If he runs out himself (which happens a lot), use that R3 press to have him cover the far post to give him a better chance to block that common low driven shot. Finally, use him to launch that counter attack. He can honestly LB+Y a giant lofted through ball half way down the pitch with pinpoint precision.

My main issue is that he has that same issue as Donnaruma when it comes to holding the ball. This past WL, he actually punched a rebounding ball into the back of my net... That being said, he is aggressive enough to dive at balls bouncing around in the box, which can be hit/miss.

Overall, I can't see myself swapping to another keeper. Fingers crossed he grabs that SIF soon and actually gets some Trait/Specialty upgrades.

Incredible reflexes

Ederson has incredible reflexes! If there is a one on one situation he will always have the ball unless it is low driven (sadly enough there is no keeper that can stop this)For long shots he is also a very good keeper, he kept out so much long shots for me. His reflexes make him one of the best keepers that are cheap but very good.If a player like Kane is heading a ball with power, Ederson can still get...

Terrible Goalkeeper

Just an awful keeperI used this keeper for the one nation requirements in the Weekend League and he has let me down. I used him for a weekend before and found the same then. I was hoping it was a one off. I got the 87 in my monthly rewards and had kept it, so it was the perfect time to use it. He just doesn't deal with much well and is incredibly frustrating. Being forced to use him...

Decent Keeper

Before this guy I used to have the 90 rated De Gea on my team DG is a great keeper but I needed some money to buy some players that where needed at that moment, I got Ederson in my monthly Fut Champions Gold Pack and I decided to give a try on the weekend league. The results were much better than expected! he saved many balls that I thought that they were going in. He has some good reflexes and his handling s decent, it is ...
