Player Review

92 - TOTS
5.0
Mike ManglesNans
By EdBennett, 09-06-2022

I'd been using TOTS Moments De Gea for ages and was actually really happy with De Gea, he saved so many shots any other keeper would let in but my team wasn't working so went French and bought this guy. While he's not quite De Gea between the posts, he's not far off and his saves in 1v1 situations are the best on the game.


Diving

Sometimes lets in very well placed shots that maybe De Gea would have stretched to, but this certainly isn't a major flaw. Saves most shots

Reflexes

This is by far his biggest strength. Although he does still let the odd few stupid near post shots in from an angle, in 1V1 situations he's usually unbeatable. Rushes out very quick and smothers players, always catching the ball cleanly. A huge asset.

Handling

Very good. Never spills the ball or pushes it back in to play- an issue I'd had with most keepers before. This guy's handling is 10/10

Positioning

Can be difficult to assess but I've not noticed myself conceding due to positional errors. Seems to be very good

Speed

Not as quick as TOTS Alisson, but who is; his speed is good for a goalkeeper

Distribution

Distribution is top tier. Although he doesn't have the longthrow trait, he plays like he does and his kicking is second to none. Bagged me 2 assists as well.


Overall

I'd definitely recommend snapping him up. He's good between the posts but his real strength is his ability to rush out of goal and take out strikers in 1v1s. He always catches the ball cleanly so I don't have to worry about conceding stupid scrappy goals and makes a lot less errors than most keepers on this game do. For comparison, I'd say I do still slightly prefer De Gea but Magian definitely has strengths over De Gea, and for 38k currently this fella is a steal.

Mike "Mangles Nans" Maignan

Every single fifa I have put faith in Handanovic since fifa 14, but this year I couldn't even bother since they disrespected a club legend and gave him 80 diving, so I made a switch this year. Maignan, or as I like to call him, "Mike Mangles Nans" is like every other keeper in this game and decides to take days off between the sticks, or plays as if his life depends on it. I FULLY believe however he is the only opti...

Best I've used so far.

150 games in, here's a short and simple review for you: he's fantastic. He makes excellent saves and he makes them often, and you'll notice when he makes a mistake because they happen so rarely. He's exactly who you want at the back. I use him in Elite (1900) in a 4-3-1-2 with WW Niakhate and gold Varane.

Don't know why he is so bad

I've played a lot of games with him, like 40 or 50, so I think I can really judge him with sureness. I loved his regular version in the start of the game so I believed he will be good with this special card. I was wrong, this guy is a big L, he never carried me, he always was horrible, he never did a good match and always did mistakes.I'm so sad because he links perfectly with my team, but i prefer have a GK with 8 c...
