94 - TOTS

3.0

Slowest keeper ever

By JGurnz, 01-05-2018

Well, I packed this guy in the Community TOTS SBC. My current goalkeeper is De Gea so thought great, I've just packed this great goalkeeper but I still want to use De Gea (also packed untradeable Courtois in the lunar new year pack). Anyway I decided to try him out for my last few weekend league games and in the DKT to get Callejon. His shot stopping is very good. He only parried the ball to a striker once, where as De Gea loves doing it for me. However, the overwhelming issue with this Courtois is that although he may have 1 more speed than De Gea, in reality he has about 25 less. He takes ages to come off his line. I conceded a fair amount of goals where the striker just gets a toe on it or slides to the ball first because he is so slow at running.

I used a shield on Courtois (normally always use glove), but I wanted to improve his kicking as it was a big stat difference between himself and De Gea.

He catches balls

Al right. I honestly don't know why this man is the most consistent Team of the Season, as he has been nothing like that this season. Actually, he has been consistently inconsistent, but that's not what we're looking for, right? Anyhow! Let's get down to it.I packed this beast in the first TOTS SBC, and packing af 94 rated blue player is something else. I had to try him out instead of 90 De Gea, who - thou...

Thibaut Courtois

Absolute Beast In Goal

After deciding to build a BPL squad I began with Lloris who was very decent but just didn't feel truly elite to me. I had De Gea available on loan and while I was impressed with him, at the time he was way out of my price range. Enter Courtois. I sniped him at 73k when he was going for upwards of 80k and haven't looked back. The man is an absolute rock. In 130 games I cannot remember a time when he allowed a second chance g...

Thibaut Courtois

Absolute Legend

I used to have De Gea 91 as my GK and then I decided to give it a try. This card is totally different from his regular card and he is worth every single penny that you will spend on him. He is a very tall GK and that helps him with the long shots and he also has a perfect timing to come out for crosses. He is also the best GK so far to defend penalties, I have teste...
