94 - eMOTM

5.0

Best De Gea card in game

By unitedkush, 29-07-2018

Alright you might be thinking going by the title how come a 94 rated card is better than two 97 rated TOTS/Y cards? Well because FIFA 18. I've tried more GKs than almost any other position this year (including every De Gea's card) and this is by far the best one I've used.

Like many users 90 De Gea was a constant fixture in my team for a long while until TOTY came, his card was expensive but I reluctantly paid 1 mil. It took me a little while to get used to but eventually he was winning games for me. All was fine until late May where it all went to pot, it was probably a title update and he just wasn't performing like himself. I tried his loan 97 TOTS which was in my club due to a weekly objective and he was even worse. I cut my losses and went back to 90 De Gea, noticing barely any difference between the two. That was until I was able to get my hands on this card, due to the market crash I picked him up for 250k and oh boy was it a bargain. I don't think I'll be changing my GK until the end of this game.

He is what you expect of De Gea, to produce consistent jaw-dropping moments of quality. Iker Casillas produced a couple of Schmeichel esque saves twice v Sevilla and De Gea has produced exact replica of those saves for me multiple times in the past week. I also found his handling to be a step up compared to his higher rated cards, he doesn't parry many shots. Pressing triangle also solves the issue of him not coming out on corners to punch/catch the ball.

All in all don't get swayed by higher ratings, just try this particular card and save yourself some coins.

Handling - By far the best thing about this card, ball just attaches to his gloves like a magnet
Reflexes - Crazy fast as you expect from De Gea
Longshots - Extremely consistent
Low Drivens - Saves more than most other keepers

OH LOOOOORD!

Dave saves, but he never shaves!!! David De Gea will always be between the posts, because he will not use time at the barber as Pogboom I don`t know where to start. This Spanish mammoth with gloves will never let you down. He is good at washing his hands after toilet visit, so soapy fingers are not the problem. His reaction is like a miracle. De Gea...

Of course better then his 90 rated version

Got him in packs, then I read the other review and were unsure about selling my existing 90 rated De Gea, who did a great job in 500 games. But I decided to give the 91 rated De Gea a try, I put "Gloves" on him, which is the same chemistry style I used on his 90 rated card. - And until now this guy don't let me down. It feels like he thwarted much more chances then his 90 rated card. His 1 on 1 feels much better, his defend...

Zero difference

You would think that a 97 rated player would feel somewhat better than a 90 rated one. Well, I am here to tell you that this is definitely not the case with this TOTS De Gea. I have used his 90 rated card for plenty of games before I was "lucky" enough to pack his 97 as an untradable card, and I can say with 100% certainty that this card is no better than his regular gold card. I think the reason is that i...
