Player Review
87 - PL POTM SBC
For around 40k currently, I can't say this card isn't worth it. De Gea, for me, has produced quite a few game winning saves when called upon and in comparison to the other goalkeeping options in the league, I would say that he is worth it for the price. In 1 on 1 situations I was less worried than usual with other goalkeepers. Not the fastest to come off his line, but pretty sufficient to get the job done to pair with great reflexes capable of stopping a lot of short range efforts. Unfortunately, against players with really high shot power and distance shooting capabilities, David De Gea hangs up the boots and calls it a day. I don't know what it is, but he just isn't physically capable of stopping long shots and power shots for me, no matter the chem style. This could be due to positioning, sketchy gameplay or the card in general. In possession, he feels just like any other goalkeeper really. Short passing, long passing, and general distribution is on par with the rest but nothing to be excited over. When it came to chemistry styles, the only one I could consistently maintain success with was Basic. Overall, I would recommend this card for the price and at worst you can SBC fodder him later if you decide he's not up to the task.
