84 - SIF

2.5

Seems to Not Obey Game Mechanics

By RogerFederer, 24-03-2018

I needed a strong Serie A link between my LCB and GK, and after hearing mixed reviews about Buffon and somewhat positive reviews about SIF Sirigu I decided to go with SIF Sirigu. Also, I was extremely impressed with his FUT Birthday card last FIFA so I decided to give SIF Sirigu a shot. Overall, I would not recommend him. Now I will continue to test Serie A GKs in the following order and may write reviews on them as well: IF Perin, MOTM Donnarumma, Base Buffon. Note: I used Glove chemistry style on SIF Sirigu

Long shots (not finessed). He is tall and has good enough stats to save many normal long shots. Also, really interestingly, the opponents' shots seemed to be nerfed against SIF Sirigu, and I felt that my opponents' shot accuracy markedly declined compared to when I used other GKs. More shots were scuffed and sent powerlessly straight at Sirigu. Seems like a glitch interestingly. For shots inside the box, he stops the basic stuff and even pulls off some saves you wouldn't expect, though not nearly to the same degree as David De Gea, who is the best GK in FIFA 18 in my opinion.

He STRUGGLES against finesse shots. Every time the opponent hits a finesse shot, it triggers a unique animation where he falls to the ground semi dive. Safe to say he never saves any finesse shots due to this glitch (yet another seeming glitch with Sirigu).

Worth the coins

I have used Buffon, IF Handa, but Sirigu SIF seems to be the best keeper I have used for the 25k in Serie A, I used him on a Glove, Absolutely stunning when it comes to rushing out and making one on one saves, very quick.

Sirigu "Italian Fährmann"

Since April is about to end, i sold my whole squad to save coins. Therefore i was looking for a under 30k Goalkepper for my Pre-Drop Budget Squad.I tested all Goalies of Serie A (except Futmas-Gigi).And i have to say, Sirigu is the real deal in his price class. Saves everything Handa IFs can save.Tall enough to handle corner-balls.Quic...

Worst.. GK.. Ever...

Bought Sirigu for my hybrid and paired him with Howedes and Nkoulou (What a beast he is btw) who played brilliant, the perfect partnership... then there was Sirigu. Sirigu has no Legs, Arms or Body apparently because he couldn't save anything. Corners he was dreadful, headers, near post and even when the ball was shot right at him he'd dive out of the way. The amount of times the ball went through his legs... I'd rather hav...
