89 - IF

5.0

As good as a CB gets

By B4DBUNNY, 07-11-2018

I originally had his NIF in my team and was pretty satisfied with him. I decided to upgrade to his IF and I am glad I did. He feels a lot different compared to his NIF. His IF is much much better in every way. I used the same chem style on both (Anchor). This one simply doesn't make the mistakes his NIF makes.

Pace: Only has +1 Pace compared to his normal card but he feels a lot faster and easily catches up quick strikers.

Defending: Simply perfect, his stand and slid tackling is always on time, he rarely commits a foul. He never loses the player he's marking so always expect a tackle after switching to him. His heading is also perfect, he jumps pretty high and is tall so expect him to win most headers.

Physical: Just like his defending his physical stats are very good. Thanks to his good physical and defensive stats combo he will seem extremely aggressive trying to tackle a rival player but will do so without commiting a foul and rarely losing. His stamina is his lowest stat but honestly it feels like it's at least 85 instead of 71, he is always ready to run.

I would definitely call him the best non-Icon CB in the game. Surprised me how good an improvement he is over his NIF and a must have for big budget Premier League squads.

Everything about him is a pro but mostly:

THE PERFECT CENTER BACK!!VIRGIL VAN DIJK!

By far the best cb in the game, he wins every Ariel ball. He makes every tackle and has a medium medium work rate and therefore he wont push up too far. He's very strong and that shows on his card with his 92 strength. He very rarely gets pushed over and people will always have to play around him.He is very expensive but I think he is worth the 111k that I payed for him. visit my channel "KLN STUDIOS" f...

The serial killer

I mean, where should i start this? This man with shadow is just the best cb ever (i play him in 250k prem squad with potm hazard and lucas in). I had 150k and i were thinking that should i go for vvd or walker, and i went for vvd, and oh boy, this guy is an absolute rock as cb, he's way better than umtiti for example. This man just has it all, even his timed finesses go in if he sometimes decides to get more attacking. Also...

You don't need any other defenders

Need a wall for your team? This is your guy. When I first saw this card I wasn't sure if he would be a good choice right before TOTS but honestly, him next to my 93 cannavaro and I feel so comfortable in defense. honestly, he is 100% worth the price and will make your team so much better. Just like in real life, he will completely revitalize your defense.
