High Hopes - Same Issues

By toobig2lose, 08-05-2020

Let's start with the name - Ter Stegen. He was my brick wall. After my move to Prem in January, I've been on the hunt for his successor. Gold De Gea filled that role nicely for quite awhile until last month. The upgrades to shooting left him helpless. He was stiff and would not cut off near post properly.

It got bad enough, I went and got Yashin 94 for 450k. Badass in goal, but expensive. Next week I landed Lloris IF in an upgrade pack and he was a pleasant surprise so cut Yashin.

You could imagine the excitement when I saw this card! My initial Prem savior with an upgrade to max out his positioning. Aka cover that near corner! I beat everyone to it, so got a great price and even made some back buying up his gold cards to resell. It wasn't more than 10 minutes into the first match that I knew it was a poor investment. He was the same De Gea. Stiff as a board and slow to react near post. My only theory is his optimal positioning in-game is simply off from what he can cover nearside. Like an algorithm miscalculation.

I played my weekend with him, but got replaced by TOTS Alisson. He is finally the Goalie that brings back memories of Neuer from FIFA 17 or 18 where he'd string together crazy saves. (put him on Cat chem and thank me later)

Diving on Distance shots
Saves with Feet trait is nice, but Alisson TOTS does same without the trait. He lays out his whole damn body!)
Long Throw is amazing to start runs forward. Put Adama on the wing and you've got yourself a pairing

Near Post!! He will not cover the angle even as the opponent shifts to angle it near post. He has a limit how far he will go, and is not fast enough to cover it manually
Stiff and Slow. Doesn't have the loose look to him like a Yashin, Ter Stegen, or TOTS Alison. Even Lloris if shows signs of it.
Still punches excessively instead of catching. TOTS Alison catches everything.

I think you can tell I'm frustrated I got this card instead of waiting for Alison, who came in so much cheaper than expected.

De Gea

Amazing Goalkeeper

let me guess, you are here because you packed a duplicate TOTSSF untradeable like i did and you needed an SBC to put him into. You came to the right place, this man is a freak. I had been using Ter Stegen for a long time and sold him when i packed TOTSSF Courtois, and man that was a mistake. Courtois was an absolute garbage keeper and he made me want to cry, and to make matters worse i packed him in my guaranteed TOTSSF pac...

De Gea

Great keeper(David De gea)

Played 250 games now for me and he has aved me so many times just as he has saved his team. Honestly nothing wrong with him he his great for me and I did this sbc right way. I would say the only thing wrong which wont matter too much is that he can only play good with 10 chem or he isnt tha great under 10 chem. But I guess thats the same for everyone. He did actually get a few goals and assists for me

De Gea

i have been playing fifa for 5 years now and i feel like over those years i have been able to gain knowledge on good players and bad for me de gea stands out as a easy choice for me the market is very up and down but at this stage the price of 40k is something amazing for such a good keeper would highly recommend. the down side the him withc isnt too bad is that his handling for me isnt the best he would spill the ball in 1...
