94 - TOTS
For what it's worth, I'm sure if you use Nick Pope or Areola you're looking at a big upgrade. I've used Alisson, Handanovic's IFs Oblak RTTF and Courtois IF to date and this card matches up with all of them being the same, consistent enough, they make some saves they let some goals in. I really thought when I packed Ederson that this would be near perfect as his stats go all the way to 11!
The reality is that for a 94 rated card he's really not special. The only card I've used who is is Lev Yashin's 91 card, do yourself a favour and get the extra 110k together and buy him instead!
Kicking! Play a slightly over-hit backpass to him and he's under pressure? Don't worry about it, he's quick enough to get that pass off to LB/LW etc and it's bang on the money every time.
Regular shots - he's an 8/10 shot stopper and if you're in <Div 4 you're not going to lose any games because of him.
Speed, I had him as a sweeper keeper and he does have a great turn of pace, only once did this get him into trouble. Be careful if you're not used to having sweeper keeper as he has the rushes out trait.
He's not Lev Yashin. This is hard to describe if you've not had the 40 year old looking man between the sticks. He makes crazy saves, and I'm talking ridiculous!
He's just not special, and although he's not break the bank expensive, he's not worth the coins you'll spend on him. You will still have the frustrations of thinking "how has that gone in" or how have I faced 3 shots on goal and conceded 3 goals.
