Jan the 11th player

By animoo, 11-11-2020

My experience, similar to most players thus far it seems, was that goalkeepers were fairly useless in FIFA 21. Both their movement and positioning, as well as the actual save animations performed were questionable at best. I used to play with inform Ederson, but even he would make me want to chew my controller at times. Then I packed Jan in an untradeable pack and did what any self-respecting FIFA player would do: Buy rulebreaker Gimenez and and determine if Oblak is usable or just icon sbc fodder. The results were simply astounding, this lad is a genuine goalkeeper. Not once in 34 games with him between the posts have I uttered the phrase "He should have saved that!". No, in fact, he made saves that I would not have expected him to. He is not a miracle worker, certain goals are simply unsaveable due to, most likely, shoddy defending. But the goals you expect him to save, he does. Crosses? Put this bad boy on come out and you will literally not see a single mistake from him. Goalkeepers went from a dead position to a genuine 11th player for me with the addition of Oblak. Definitely worth it!

A goalkeeper that actually does goalkeeper things correctly.
He will perform saves that he is supposed to.
Tall, demanding presence in the box. He will take care of that incoming cross.
Strong link to Gimenez, weak link to Varane + any other LaLiga defender makes him really easy to build around.

I don't know honestly, kicking stats could possibly be higher but I didn't feel it in-game.

Best GK in game

I compare Oblak with the best (in my opinion) goalkeepers in the game, namely IF Ederson and Courtois.Jan stands on the tape like Courtois (maybe even better, except for long shots) and plays with his feet a little worse than Ederson.He can give accurate passes across the entire field...

The best Gk in the game

The squad i was using https://www.futbin.com//21/squad/8106847. Honestly i've used Peter S. moments, Ederson TOTS, and they can't even be compared to this guy. Tbh its a keeper at the end of the day so u might just save ur coins, but if u are like me who spends a lot of money on the game, this is defo ur endgame keeper. 200k for him is worth it, but if u don't have the best team, save ur 200k. I've played like 13 games with...

Best La Liga GK??

Had Ter Stegen, Courtois and Oblak. My favorite goalkeeper is Ter Stegen, but he is so wierd in this game, on fifa 20 he was better. Courtois was also a bit cluncky for me.Oblak on the other hand is someting else this year. Yes he concided a few goals but i this fifa scoring is so easy, but he also saved some good shots from my opponents. I played 47 games with him and i must admit sometimes my defence is questionabl...
