Player Review
90 - TOTGS
I have used multiple meta goalkeepers this FIFA. You name it, I tried it (or at least played against it :)). I have used Neuer, which I hated and could not stand. He was just not catching simple shots and I sold him after few games. I have used Alisson, Lloris and some others. However, I was using gold Donnaruma for longest amount of time. nearly 200 games. For me he was simple the best goalie I have used so far. Tall, incredible reach and solid reflexes, are things that this goalkeeper offers. There are three things, which I love about this goalkeeper and that I did not feel with any other goalie. He catches most of the corner shots, catches high power shots and catches shots that are easy goals. He has that clutch factor, when you think your opponent is going to score a goal in 1v1 situation and Donnaruma comes out of nowhere and catches it. He saved my buttocks so many times, I cannot count it.
Now the most important question. Is this card worth over 100k price difference for the upgrade he gets ? First of all, lets just say that the upgrade is quite nice with multiple +2 and some +1 stats upgrades. In all honesty, this upgraded version felt little better than the gold one. He felt quicker and more solid on high power shots. Just tiny differences from time to time. Or that the ball was not slipping out of his hands so much. The positioning was quite nice as well. So in my opinion, there absolutely are some differences. However, I would not say that it is enough to pay 100k more over the gold version. The gold version is simply just enough, even in this stage of the game and the right move would be to wait for some more crazy upgrade or for some other goalie that might be better than Donnaruma. I still loved him and my suggestion would be to buy him and play him if you have some spare coins or if you are millionaire in FUT :)
Really amazing goalkeeper, nothing that I did not like or did not enjoy about him. Simply GOD tier (in this stage of the game).
