Player Review
96 - FOF PTG
What a card, what a player, what a player pick. His base card is pretty much exactly how he is (with a shadow) perfect defending, crazy strength and reasonable pace but nothing crazy pace wise, agility and balance (general dribbling) is a little low however he still has very solid composure. His skill moves is sadly only 2* so c'mon netherlands get him to a 5* 5* xD. I believe that he him getting 96 is almost guaranteed as they already have 1 win and just have to play Austria and North Macedonia in their next 2 games within their group. With that every win in the knockout is in an upgrade. So realistically speaking if you look at Netherlands as there expectations and their position in the world they're probably a top 5 nation rn, which most likely means the semi finals, or 5 wins making him a 98 rated card. The only thing he lacks a little bit of is his pace, but with an expected +4 this card's pace will be perfectly usable and his physicals/ defending will be perfect. I'm sure that if in that possible +4 they give him maybe a +6 or more pace overall that this card will be perfectly fine with an engine so you can increase that agility and balance (one thing that a lot of people don't know is that off the ball with defenders agility does come in a lot, so a lot of the reason some defenders are better is because of that - so fullbacks naturally have higher of them 2 stats and therefore are better in that part.... + obviously the pace). Very linkable with a very easy country and a decent league + team. I'm so gassed to have packed/ picked this card and if you do pack him tradeable i'd recommend holding onto him as I believe that 220k is very low rn and for a player that could be 98.... Is about 2 or 3x cheaper than what he should be.
9.8/10, I reckon' he is a 9.6/ 9.7 rn, but in the future with an upgrade I'm sure he will easily reach that 9.8 - in the video are clips from some games that I played with him (at the end I included a beautiful tackle from a frendlies game that I played against my dad that got ruled as a foul, idk how it was a foul but anyways just look at the reach on that slide... GEESE).
