VVD SIF Review

By PhilakaPhil, 05-12-2018

When i checked the reviews for this card i was pretty shocked there was only one, which was negative. I've only 20 Matches with him so far, but in that time, he has been amazing. At a budget of about 2m spending 350k on a defender hurts, but since at the time it was only 200k to upgrade from NIF to SIF i was willing to give it a shot.

Well lets get to the card: With ANCHOR he has 73 acceleration 82 sprint speed. This isnt fast, even for a CB, but for me his speed didnt limit his game at all. However, this might be because my full backs stay behind the whole match and my defense is always pretty far back to prevent counter attacks. On the defensive side his stats are just to good to be true. With 93+ on every stat plus 99 Strength he wins basically every tackle and every header. He obviously isnt the most agile Defender, but his huge frame makes up for it and he always seems to be in a great spot to tackle, intercept the ball, win a header or block the shot.

A big bonus for this card is his really good passing. He's got the composure and passing stats to make clean passes even in dangerous moments. His crosses to the fullbacks hit the target every time. He also gets pretty dangerous on corners where he scored 3 goals for me already, even though i have 4 other guys(Fabinho, Kane, Talisca, Arnautovic) who are also very tall and dangerous at corners.

Obviously a card is not gonna do it all for you and doesn't single-handedly stop people from scoring. When i got all-out offense he did in fact got outpaced by fast players on counter-attacks, but that happened literally one time and it was POTM Auba. The biggest flaw of this card is obviously his price tag. Normal VVD is also a really great card who gives you nearly the same dominance on defense. While the SIF is definetly an upgrade, 250k might be better spend on other positions. But thats just personal preference i guess.

At last, i'd like to apologize for grammar mistakes and wrong phrases i used. English is not my native language

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.
