84 - IF
4.5
Surprisingly OP and worth a try
By IamNotG4, 25-04-2018

Since FIFA gets more and more boring I've been trying to use different IF keepers to have some fun and test out which one suits my play style by the way.I bought this IF Muslera for 22k or so and used him for online seasons division 1. Frankly speaking considered the GK position's specific characteristics there's a lot keepers do not present their stats and particularly most IF keepers are not value for money because there's many cheap OP alternatives and IF keepers usually performing under your expectations. But I have to say that IF Muslera is an exception he's surprisingly good and over powered.I used Glove chemistry style on him and this review is based on that chem style.

The thing I liked most about this card is that he's very fast and can take good care of corner and crosses.As you might know some keeper doesn't want to come out even they have the comes for crosses trait like Courtois.And there's also some keeper likes to come out but only good at dealing with near post crosses, even when you call them out they can not do anything with far post crosses.This IF Muslera can come out automatically and prejudge the ball's direction and take care of both corners and crosses in a very good way.

The next thing made this card good is his diving and reflexes.Before I bought this IF Muslera I was quite worried about long shots.But after a few games I felt refief because his saving ability of long shots and finesses are outstanding.I'm not saying that he's unbeatable with those shots coming from outside the box but he can stop most of them and I can confidently say that only 94 and TOTY De Gea is above him in this section.

He doesn't have the save with feet trait but he still make tons of saves with his feet against low drivens.He either gets down quickly to make a save with both hands or stretch out a leg to block it so it's not a problem for him to save close range shots and low drivens.He can make some crazy double or even triple saves that make you opponent rage.

He has the long throw trait so this is definitely another good thing about him.

Of course he's not perfect so let's talk about his cons.

His handling is below average.When he makes a incredible save he tends to parries the ball back to the danger areas like the centre of the box, so it's very likely to concede a rebound goal in the counter attack due to the second chances.

His positioning is not good enough sometimes he can't cover all of the near post area.So it's possible to concede near post goals.

His kicking is not great.Be aware of it and prevent taking short pass goal kicks or try to play the ball back to him in open play otherwise you'll regret.

And last I have to say that he's inconsistent.When he made around 5 good saves if you don't score a goal after that the next shot can saved by him time ago is likely to go in.And also don't count on him to save you in the last minutes of the game he can be retarded in the tense time especially when the you're leading by a close scoreline. In this case De Gea and even IF Cech is much better than him.

Corners and Crosses.He comes out positively and have no trouble dealing with both near and far post crosses.

Diving and Reflexes.He's got the rushes out of goal trait and he's very good at 1 on 1.

Long Shots & Finesse Shots.He's a beast in dealing with these.The only keeper above him in this section is 94 and 98 De Gea.

Low Drivens:He can either use his hand and his feet to save low drivens very effectively.

Handling : When he made a wonder save he's likely to parry the ball to the danger area which related to many second chances goal.

Positioning : Sometimes he cannot cover all the near post so it's possible to concede near post goals.

Kicking : Donot try to play the ball back to him, he's not a dribbler and that will cost you.And also avoid taking short goalkicks.

Inconsistency : If you donot score a goal after he makes 5 or so good saves you are going to concede.And do not count on him in a close scoreline in last minutes.
