88 - Halloween

4.5

As Good As Van Dijk!

By Jayesh, 11-11-2020

Ok. First off - I am a Gold 3 Gold 2 player - And I usually count on my defending to elevate me from G3 to G2 and rarely a G1.When I started Fifa 21, I was really struggling with the new style of defending. I had good defenders in Gomez and Diego Carlos but there were too many 50-50s going the opponents way and against top - 88+ attackers, i was conceding way too many shots and chances. Thats when Mr. Laporte came in to save the day.

Some good pack luck finally helped me afford him. (i actually splurged on defence rather than my attack to play to my strengths). Partnered with 83 Gomez. I wont speak much about the obvious positives - Pace, high strength(which means you can apply shadow and max out pace) and relatively high agility.

I want to talk about his secret sauce: What makes someone like Van Dijk soo good. The high reactions and composure stats! This is truly what lifts him above the likes of walker 86 and Gomez 85. (I have used both - like i said i splurge on defence rather than attack). Now i was winning all the 50-50s, more of the rebounds were going in my faovr and this guy reduced my goals conceded easily to half. Got gold 2 two weekends in a row and i can say easily he was the difference.

And honestly - those stats and french links should easily get you till Jan atleast and yet not lose too much card value So i think hes great value for money.

Trust me - You will not go wrong with Laporte

Pace Duh
High inbuilt strength that means you can use shadow and max out pace
High dribbling, Composure and Reactions: More important than most others things and what makes him unpassable like Van Dijk
Best left footed non icon defender as well. Opens up more passing lanes on the wing.

if I had to push his price for a defender but really not much else.

An honest review

Ok I’m not one to jump on the overpriced bandwagon, when you get the new fifa you go from expecting 95 rated beasts for 60k to 83 rated 200k players who don’t play to the level you’ve spent probably 5 months or so enjoying. Fati was one I was surprised people gave hate to, it’s a quality card and in my head 170k wasn’t too bad considering how well he plays but with money especially tight for most right now I can s...

Underrated

Don't be fooled by the pace. This guy is a beast at the back. I have him partnered with Aké in the back and he is amazing. Put a shadow on him and his pace is very nice, and defensively is unstoppable. He is also great at distributing the ball once he gets it, and is rarely dispossessed. Would definitely recommend picking him up if you're looking for more defensive security.

Geese he is mad

I looked at the other review and my good it is so wrong, he is incredible at defending and even with his bad dribbling is perfectly fine on the ball, he makes great interceptions and loads of tackles. In the air he isn't the bad but obviously his jumping isn't the highest so he isn't crazy good although he did score a solid header for me 1:15 in the video. His pace is phenomenal and because ...
