Player Review
84 - IF
I packed him untradable and since there's so much hype around him, I decided to try him out this weekend in my WL.
I can say that there's definitely something about him. A lot of 1 on 1s, he makes himself so big, it's hard to get the ball around him. Same when he comes for crosses and corners. He was definitely impressive, BUT, I found him lacking in some areas compared to top keepers. For example, Alisson has made game changing saves for me where I sat there wondering how in gods name the attacker didn't score. I didn't really have these moments with Pope. He makes basic saves. He makes good saves. He makes GREAT saves, but unfortunately, I found in the big games where it mattered the most, he just didn't deliver...
He's massive which gives him the reach to stop shots.
Not as meta as I wish he'd be.
