95 - TOTS
Since I am planning to change my squad around, I'm in need of a new goalkeeper. I want to change Laporte around for TOTS De Ligt next week and therefore cannot use David de Gea anymore. I saw this Alisson card and was amazed by his stats. I decided to give him a try in the weekend league and in division rivals (division 1).
In the first 10 games or so, Alisson played very poor for me. I conceded a lot of goals which other goalkeepers would easily save. After applying different chemistry styles I found out that he played best for me with Glove. At this moment he sometimes has incredible saves, which he did not make with other chemistry styles.
He still is very inconsistent however. He can save a 100% goal and a minute later concede from a very poor shot. In this weeks weekend league he won me 1 game with an incredible performance.
Alisson's diving also feels and looks really weird. It sometimes looks like he has a hundred kilo's of weights on his legs. He sometimes does not come from the ground. Because of this some easy shots will go in.
Alisson's handling also isn't the best. His card says he that he has 93 handling, but this feels like 85 handling to me. He punches almost all shots and only catches the shots that get shot right at him. My former goalkeeper, De Gea, had 85 handling, but he catched a lot more shots. He won't give your opponent a rebound however, since he punches the ball quite far away.
Alisson's 95 rated TOTS is not all bad though. First of all he is very fast! If you press 'Y' tolet him rush out of his goal, the opponent won't be able to react on time, since he is lightning fast.
His reflexes are also very good. He will be able to save shots from very close by.
Another pro of Alisson is his distribution. He has the long throw trait and 95 kicking. His long throws can easily reach the middle line, which is much further than David de Gea was able to throw the ball.
Alisson will also catch a lot of corners. He does not have the comes for crosses trait, but he does not need that.
All in all Alisson is a very good goalkeeper, but in my opinion not worth the 225k for which he sells at this moment. In my opinion regular David de Gea is much better and also a lot cheaper. In my opinion 150k will be a fair price for this Alisson card.
