POTY VVD (The Great Wall of Holland)

By NH3539, 30-04-2019

I will start by saying I'm a Division 2 player usually somewhere between Gold 1 Elite 2 in WL and the squad link attached is how I line up in game after switching tactics. I line up in a 4-2-2-2 to start for 100 chemistry.

This card is insane! If you have the money for him by all means send it! I've only used him for about 10-15 games now, but he is far and above the best CB I've used this year. This guy seems to have the pace of Usain Bolt when tracking back, the strength of the incredible Hulk going into tackles, the interception ability of Prime Darrelle Revis (For those of you who follow American football), and on top of this he has superb passing and dribbling ability which makes building from the back a breeze. I slapped an Engine chem on him to boost his pacing, pace, and dribbling since his defensive and physical stats are already ridiculous and he can even bang in free kicks like Pirlo or Messi for me! (Engine chem gives him 99FKA) Set pieces? Forget about it! It seems as if he's bouncing off a trampoline when going up for headers and is usually head and shoulders above opposing players. If he didn't have 2 star skills and a 3 star WF he would be a beast at essentially any position on the pitch! If you're looking for an end game CB, VVD is your man! Your opponents will hate playing you with this man on your side!

Pace- ridiculous, catches even the fastest players from behind
Strength- This guy is a bully
Passing- Very crisp passing, makes building from the back much easier
Dribbling- Not a liability on the ball like most CBs.
Jumping and Heading- feels like having Dikembe Mutumbo in the box, wins an absurd amount of aerial battles
Free Kicks (with Engine chem)- Boosts him to 99 FKA and since he already has 99 shot power, he can bang in screamers with relative ease
Defending- Intercepts everything and a phenomenal clutch tackler

If he had better skills and WF he would be the equivalent of Thanos on the pitch
Maybe stamina?? Works fine for me, but obviously 90+ would be sick

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.
