Cheat code IF you actually can defend properly

By kevinle2000, 15-01-2021

He is an absolute cheat code. I'v used IF Gomez, IF Walker and Varane RTTF. His defending is out of this world like no one comes close to his defending. Not even the one I mentioned and those 3 are pretty meta in FIFA 21. He is the complete defender if you can defend with him properly. Someone who presses blindly the standing tackle button cant play with this card and you will be beaten by the OP through balls. My defensive game is so much better thanks to Van Dijk. You will learn how to defend cause you cant make the risk because of his pace. So it is not only a gamechanger for you but he is also for your defending.

Pace: His pace is why people think Van Dijk is worse than for example gold Gomez. Yes he is a bit slow and he wont catch players above 94 pace like Mbappe or Saint Maximin. However he isnt that slow. Use his positioning and he still will catch up.

Shooting: Kinda irrelevant for a defender so it isnt important to take that into this review.

Passing: Best passing for a defender i've used this FIFA. You can feel he is so comfortable on the ball 79 short passing and 86 long passing is all you need. Its not those stats that make his passing so brilliant. The reason why his passing is also phenomenal is that this card has 89 reactions and 90 composure. Thats why his passing is a lot better than other cb's cause he is the only one that have those key stats.

dribbling: As I mentioned by the passing his 89 reactions and 90 composure are so important also for his dribbling stats. Yes he cant dribble like a Neymar or Messi but his dribbling is really good even better than my RTTF Varane I use next to him.

Defending: What can I say. His defending is an actual cheat code. He wins every duel, every header, every one on one. Also his AI blocks are the best in the game. His defending is better than RTTF Varane. Also his headers are insane. He and Cristiano Ronaldo have the best heading in the game. He will win every aerial duel. A

Physical: Just as the defending his physical stats are unbelievable like 90 jumping, 92 strength combined with 83 aggression is so good.

Pace: If you press the standing tackle blindly he won't recover someone like Mbappe if someone gives a through ball. So be careful.

Physical: His stamina isnt the greatest. If you press a lot then you will drain a lot of stamina.

Best Defender Ever!!!

If you're searching for the best defender in the game. Stop searching you found him. I've played the last weekend league with this guy and he is just phenomenal. He's so fast, agile and has everything you need at the centre back position. I've conceded just 21 goals with him at the back line. Next to him i've played Boateng (91) and in the goal Neuer TOTY. Only Con is maybe the price, but if you got the...

Van dijk Review (deutsch)

Kurze Zahlenstatistik: 44 Spiele. 4 Tore (3 oder 4 Eckballkopftore auf den kurzen Pfosten. 3 Gelbe Karten. Chemistry: Shadow. Aufjedenfall den guten Mann Nachts nebenbei untrade gezogen. Erster Gedanke war: ok van dijk. Cool. Nach den ersten Spielen bemerkt wie geisteskrank dieser Typ ist. Groß, schnell beweglich und über die Verteidigung muss man eig gar nicht reden. Der Typ ...
