92 - Icon Moment

The best GK in Fifa 21?

By jrs2807, 23-03-2021

Hi guys and welcome to one of my first reviews, please excuse me, English is not my native language so I might make some mistakes. First of all, for me it is hard to review a GK, especially when the player costs 1.000.000, when simply Pope Gold would be enough. I used Van der Sar with a Glove Chemistry Style.

I did Van der Sars Baby SBC and had him for 300 Games, a week ago I packed his PIM. I have to say, this version seemes to be better, also better than Pope IF. This version seems to be more consistent, he hasn´t made any mistake in my recent Rivals Games. He is really good in 1vs1 situation and had some great saves ther, also some impossible ones. He catches corners, and he seems to be really reliable in the penalty area. His height helps him to catch up crosses, what he also does really reliable. I cannot use another word instead of reliable as this is what he is. A reliable keeper who helps you to link up your players, especially when you use fullbacks as a CB from different leagues. Gameplay wise, he is 9/10, as he is reliable and consistent, but no GK in this game is a 10/10, as they will make mistakes anyway. His safes helped me to keep more clean sheets, and to win 2-3 matches, so he is a little bit of a Gamechanger.

One disadvantage is the price, obviously. He costs 1 Mio, you nearly could buy Mbappe and Neymar instead and just go the boring way with Pope. But it is really nice to have an Icon Moments as a GK, and I would say it is way more fun to play with him instead of Pope. But I would give you the advice, improve your team first before you spend the coins on him. If you have the coins, go for it.

As I also tried his baby version, I think this version is better. He seems to make everything his baby version does good even better.

I hope you enjoyed this Review, take one last look at the pros and cons for a small summary :)

At last...consistency.

Ok ok ok, I get it, keepers are notoriously bad in this game and if you're reading this review thinking this card will magically improve your defense you're about to waste 650k. To concede less, you must defend better. HOWEVER.. If you're G1 to E3 player, like me, and the game is actively trying to sabotage you, your opponent's only shot of the game is a goal, and their Pope or Alisson has 15 saves...I'm t...

Not good

For a keeper that's 500k you'd expect better but he's actually trash, these reviews saying "best keeper in the game" have clearly been playing beginner squad battles because after 14 games with this guy he was gone. he's terrible just use pope. In fact in one game dived to opposite direction of the ball.
