Drop Handanovic ASAP
By Reusinho, 06-11-2018

This past weekend I was off to a rough start in FUT Champs, typically I finish Gold 1 or Elite 3, I lost three consecutive games due to Handanovic's distribution mistakes, poor ball control, and horrible misjudgments when the AI pulls him out of the goal to catch a cross. So I made a drastic decision and sold him to buy this IF Szczecny card for the same price, and my god did it save me. In the remaining 23 games I had to play, he managed to keep clean sheets in 12 of those games and pull out incredible stops whenever he was called upon. His height and distribution ability where literally head and shoulders above Handanovic's. Seeing how Juventus has easily the best back four and GK lineup so far this FIFA it's a no brainer to pick him up because you can build a strong link upgraded Juventus back line like I did then do any sort of hybrid you want in the midfield and attack. (My back four was IF Alex Sandro, Benatia, Bonucci, and OTW Cancelo)

  • Team/League link up
  • Height- he won't lose aerial duels like Handanovic or most keepers have been in the game so far, and he spreads himself well in 1 on 1 situations
  • Reflexes- He is great with close encounters and rarely concedes when things get crazy in the 18yard box
  • Positioning- I have yet to concede a random longshot in the 23 games I've played with, his height and positioning are perfect, and I haven't had any issues with the AI pulling him out of the net at the wrong time.
  • Distribution- Unlike Handanovic, he will pass the ball when you want it to go without having to pray that your player can save the ball before it goes out of bounds or into the middle of the field when you clearly aimed toward the wings.
  • The only con is that like most keepers he will concede back post headers because he isn't quick enough to change his position when the cross floats over the box.

Excellent goalkeeper!

When I won it in the WL award pack I thought I was not a good keeper for my team, because I already used Handanovic, but I decided to give it a try and use it. It was a pleasant surprise, because Szcesny is excellent! It's a good height and it's a wall! I ended up selling Handanovic without fear.

Couldn't ask for more

Honestly better than most keepers I have used and some of them being a lot more expensive and higher rated, for the pice he is insane and won't let you down much. Heard great things about his IF but this is fine for now so until I have coins to throw away I'll be keeping this one

I love this player

This is by far my favorite goal keeper in this game. I am on PC now so the.. caliber of opponents has dropped. But this man is an immovable object in goal.
