Absolute Beast In Goal

By madeingotham, 12-11-2017

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 goal. His handling is impeccable and anything he doesn't catch cleanly is cleared out of danger. He commands his area and is surprisingly quick off his line for someone with only 46 speed. His height is also a great advantage in dealing with long shots and attempted chips. I also cannot say enough about how great his long throw is. I'm someone who grew up watching Jens Lehmann start many an Arsenal counter attack with a long throw and so I try to bring that element into my matches and Courtois definitely allows me to do it with ease. Although I have enough coins to buy De Gea now I see no reason to. Courtois has been absolutely incredible and saved my bacon many a time in close WL matches. I can't say enough about him, he's brilliant.

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 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...

Good Until You Can Afford De Gea

Before using Courtois, I was using the high-tier trashcan known as Lloris. Courtois is a huge improvement over Lloris but only worth it if you don't want to use Hart or Butland and you can't afford De Gea. Courtois managed to make a colossal mistake once every two to four games... that was until he gave up not one but TWO last second goals IN THE SAME GAME off of deflections which landed outside the box because he decided...
