Virgil The Dike

By Morcaa, 30-03-2018

The guy is an absolute beast. Definately my favourite CB I've tried in this game, and I've tried the likes of Chiellini and Boateng as well.

I partnered him up with Bailly and both are amazing, but Van Dijk stands out more.

I had him in the earlier in the game with another record, but because I don't know that anymore I just use the current record.

I used him with the Anchor chem style.

His Pace feels faster than 73, probably because of anchor. He can catch up with most of the attackers

His Passing is good enough, sometimes he gives a bad pass but haven't had much problems with it

His Defending is outstanding. Standing tackle, sliding tackle, interceptions, clearances, blocks; You name it and he can do it. Also in difficult situations it doesn't seem like a problem to him.

And then his Physical. Oh boy. He denies almost every attack by pushing opponents away like it's nothing. I'm not only talking about Insigne when i say this, also players with a decent amount of strength can be knocked of the ball easily. 76 stamina is fine When he has above 90/95 condition, he can stay the whole 90 mins on the pitch.

His Heading and Jumping are really good. Wins almost every header because of the combination of being 6'3'' and having 90 heading and 89 jumping (with anchor applied). He scored some headers for me as well.

His Workrates didn't bother me at all. I was a bit afraid of that H/M that he would get up the pitch too high, but in-game it felt like H/H or M/H. He is getting to the CDM-line at max, and is back when you need him there. I personally liked that because it makes the passing easier, but i would understand it if you don't like that.

I would highly recommend trying him out if you haven't already done that, and pairing him up with someone fast like Bailly or Manolas, who are my 2nd and 3rd favourite CB's.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day.

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...
