Player Review
97 - TOTY
So I rinsed through my entire club of golds and silvers doing those league upgrades for TOTY. In my last 3 packs, this dude walked out! I legit couldn't believe it. Sure, he's the worst of the TOTY 12, but still. I PACKED A TOTY!
I was even happier because I already used his TOTY Nominee in my squad, so hey! A perfect fit!
I have to say, he really made my defence step up BIG TIME! Any time an opposition player got near my goal, my defence would be a step away from climbing over the poor guy, doing everything they can to stop the shot and take back possession.
"But surely that's a good thing?" I hear you say. Well, under normal circumstances, it would be. Unfortunately, my back line defend in a state of such utter fear and panic because they know the minute the ball goes anywhere near TOTY Alisson, it's pretty much a goal. Like, this has turned from a game of football to a game of 'Keep that frickin round thing the HELL away from Alisson as if your life depends on it!!!!"
TOTY Alisson has some of the worst animations in the game. I swear to god he has a gambling addiction and constantly places bets on the opposite team to win, hense his performances. I just lost a WL game 1-0 cos this idiot slapped the ball into his own net!!!!
Thing is, he's kind of decent. He's fast and spreads his body out nicely. He stops a few 1 on 1s because of his speed. Unfortunately he gets beat by some of the most simplest chances, and if you're like me and want to play even a LITTLE competitively in WL, a keeper like this is just going to make thing a heck of a lot harder.
I'm really gutted, as I was so happy to have packed him.
I do believe this is a trend though. I know that normally TOTY keepers have had reputations of being utterly abysmal.
Anyways, for your own sanity, keep away from this card.
Makes your teams defence play out of their skins.
Also does the same for the opposition attackers
