Player Review
96 - TOTY
I dont usually write reviews, but i have to do it now for this absolute beast of a card.
I bought De Ligt pretty early after he came out, and gave him the WL, together with some games in rivals (Div 2), and i have to say i was impressed by how he performed, obviously you expect a lot from the second best defender on the game, but i didnt expect this much.
I am a player who struggles a lot with defending, and have tried all different tactics, drop back, pressure on heavy touch etc. But when i brought in this guy it was so much easier, this guys AI defending is on the same level as van dijk, and he literally has everything you need for a defender.
I played with Maldini, Virgil and Blanc last year, but this guy is miles ahead of what they were, and he is without a doubt the best defender i have tried out this year.
Pace - The guy feels rapid, and with his 91 sprint speed he outruns most attackers, but you could maybe feel his acceleration in some occations, but not a problem i would say.
Passing - With his 99 short pass, 96 long pass and 4* weak foot, his passing was class, and he never misshits a pass.
Dribbling - His agility and balance is more good enough, but being big he aint no messi in the way he moves. He also has 94 Ball Control and 99 Composure, which makes him very reliable in most situations.
Defending - Probably the best about this guy, perfect defending for me personally, nothing more to say than that tbh.
Physical - Again spot on here, perfect jumping, 99 strength and 93 agression, what more could you want from a defender really.
Price - For some he might be very expensive, but it depends on the level you are playing at, but for me he is 100% worth it.
Agility and Balance - This aint a problem, but more of a thing that could be improved, you can feel the size of this guy while jockying with him.
Links - Could be a little tricky to link without icons.
