Player Review
89 - TOTGS
After tried almost every high rated keeper in the game except for De Gea (couldn't afford) I had really high hopes for Ter Stegen. Especially after reading the other reviews. I told myself I would give him a real chance because he was/is a big investment, but after 12 games (all inte weekend league) I can't take it anymore. He kept one clean sheet for me in those 12 games and every game I in some way managed to win was with scores like 4-3 or 5-4. He just simply can't save, and it's not just one sort of shots that he has problems with, it really is all of them. The low driven shots = goal. Finesse shots outside and inside the box = goal. Regular shots outside the box = goal. He just simply doesn't react in time. For me I expect some big saves when I pay these kind of money for a keeper but it didn't just happen. I bet I can count all the big saves in these 12 games on one hand. Simply not good enough.
The only two positive things I can come up with is his kicking, if you like to counter attack he sets up some good long balls, and his ability to come out for crosses, though he never gets hold of the ball....
I mentioned most of it above but his ability to save a football is just horrible for me. And that's kind of the reasons he is there at the back...
