87 - Icon

1.0

Bad bad bad..

By Niccu47, 27-03-2021

I've had this "baby" VDS for god knows how many long. Since his SBC was released, I've done it because I've always had an Icon on goal ever since they were introduced in FIFA, and since they've gotten SBCs. Never had that many problems with them, but never had that feeling that they were crucial to my game. But this year .. my god he's so so bad. He couldn't save a shot, even if it was taken by a newborn. I don't recommend him to anybody, stay far away from him. Use Pope, Areola, whatever. I've had enough of him. Last game I've had with him, I've lost on pens, and while he only had 1 save the entire game, my opponent's Pope had 19 (!!!!!!) and a perfect 10/10 game rating. What's the point of having an Icon on goal, if a mere 82-rated english goalie is going to be better than him?

Links I guess
I mean, he was arguably cheap at the time
The only good thing I actually saw from him was his passes

If you chip him, it's 100% goal
Near post he's very bad
Even controlling him and getting him in front of the ball, he misses it
He's very slow
He's awful on corners, always punching the ball or missing them
He parries every shot

Game changer

Packed him out of my base icon pack and thought he is an big L, but he's a great keeper. He saves a lot, especially in 1v1s Because he's so tall. I've tried a lot of keepers before and he is the best of all. If you have the coins try him.

He's Just Good Enough

I got this guy through the base icon swap pack and I thought he was gonna be really good just from looking at his stats. However...he's a pretty average keeper and not worth the price of his regular card or SBC price. Buy De Gea or Hradecky's Headliner over this. He is able to make some really good 1 on 1 saves that you would expect the opponent to score but he also lets in some really questionable goals. I notice that he g...
