Player Review

87 - PL POTM SBC

4.5

Good solid keeper

By EdBennett, 11-02-2022

Overall a solid keeper and well worth the price. Review is based off of playing him on Basic Chem Style

Diving

Saves pretty much every shot that requires him to dive. I found this to be a real big issue with his base card, but not at all with the POTM card. Clean, reactive diving, so you concede a lot less stupid longshots and the likes.

Reflexes

Reflexes are good overall, he concedes a lot less silly, near-post shots or weak tap ins than most keepers but he definitely has a serious weakness- in 1v1 situations when you call him to rush out and smother a player Peter Schmeichel style, he rarely gets to it.

Having used Numbers Up Ter Stegen and IF Alban Lafont extensively before, this feels like a big step down since they almost always saved shots in these types of situations.

I'd advise not rushing him out as much as other keepers despite his speed, and just rely on his diving or reflex saves from more of a distance.

Positioning

I've found his positioning to be good, overall. usually in the right position at the right time and never found him to make positioning errors. Not quite as perfect positioning as Alisson or Ter Stegen, but good nonetheless

Speed

Feels very fast in game. 64 Acceleration on Basic is quick, but he feels a lot faster than that. Combined with Saves with Feet trait this is a real win

Handling

Handling isn't great but not terrible either. I've never conceded because of a handling error, but he does still push the ball back in tor play, or out for a corner a lot when other keepers would catch it cleanly. However, I've found a lot of keepers do this even with 99 diving on a Chem Style Boost, so its certainly not a dealbreaker

Kicking

Kicking feels a lot better than expected. I though it'd feel terrible but its perfectly usable. Again he doesn't have the exceptional distribution of Neuer or Ter Stegen or Ederson, but it's certainly not a problem either. With a Chem Style like Wall or Shield it'd probably be as good as anyone

Other

6ft4, Saves with Feet Trait and his agility when making saves are a massive plus.

Overall

Overall, a very good solid keeper at a very good price; makes far more saves than most and used correctly can be the difference in a tight game.

Top Notch Diving

Good agility and reflexes to save low shots- something far higher rated keepers like TOTY Donnarumma struggle with

Good positioning

Height

Saves with Feet Trait

Sometimes lapse in 1v1 situations

Handling could be better, though it's not a deal breaker

Rip that fax machine

Let me start of by saying, unlike the rest of futbin, I'm not in elite or truly anywhere near, but I don't think that this makes this review illegitimate. I used him during fut champs qualification and his impact was immense, their were points where I thought "De Gea will get that", with a player clean through on goal., and to my avail he proves me right every time. For 40k couldn't of asked for more from a goalkeeper, his ...

De gea

I have used him since he came out, he has made so many good saves even my moments cech couldn’t save and for about 2 hours work of playing games he is very good value if you don’t do it then your missing out and if he is bad in game then you could just use him as fodder

DAVID DE WALL!

This man is mental for me in goal. I actually at first got him for the varane link, so i could play my sule next to him and that made me replace unteadable totgs donnaruma with de gea. In the first 5 games i played with him he made me write my first ever review on futbin. he saved my fut champs matches and made saves with feet my donnaruma wouldnt even think of saveing. i would say he is the best gk in the game except icons...
