HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

By viggersj, 22-01-2018

Used in a squad that gets changed in game to 4-2-3-1 with Okazaki swapping with Lallana and playing the central CAM Role. Has decent pace for a CB so can easily move up and down the pitch if required, although I tend to set tactics to stay back while attacking. He has also got decent dribbling for a centre-back so he can be used to carry the ball out of your defensive half and the CDM's who are set to stay back while attacking are there to support him and get back if he loses the ball, especially Bakayoko. For me, he easily bullies defenders off the ball. His high physical stats allow him to do this. Due to his height he also wins a lot of aerial duels whether defending a corner or a long ball put into the box. His height also makes him a great presence for me at my attacking corners. Has scored a few goals for me from corners as he has fairly good hiding accuracy. His strength is amazing for me, never seems to lose a 1on1 duel and he is always where I need him. Has scored about 10-11 goals for me in about 20 games. Most from penalties even though his stats aren't great he seems really good at taking penalties. Most of his goals come from corners but he has also scored two 30 yard stunners for me.

Best PL CB?

I never really used Van Dijks normal card due tho the fact he has High attacking W/R.I didn't know this card was coming out as the leaked NO.17 was Bakambu but as soon as i saw this card i decided to risk it. All in all it cost me about 50k with items i already had in the club.He's so big and powerful and so hard to get by, he's great from corners at both ends and his High ATW doesn't affect the way he plays....

Just.. OP TANK

First of all, I, like i guess anyone else, didn't expect him to be in SBCs. I was gonna do Koscielny as he was supposed to be in SBCs but when i saw Van Dijk i couldn't resist.Never used his normal card, I was using Koscielny's normal gold card, but I went for him instead of waiting for Kosc SBC.After a couple of games i can say that he's absolute TANK. His strength, tackling, height is outstanding. No other p...

Best BPL CB

Virgil Van Dijk, what a player he is. Looking at his card stats you surely expect a very good centre back, but I wasn't expecting one of the best in the game. I've not played with every CB in the game or in the BPL, but I am 90% sure that people will agree on this review. VVD has got his physicality and pace as his advantage against other CB and the Strikers you come up against. He's been my main CB next to Kompany for my B...
