91 - LaLiga POTM SBC

4.5

Good keeper, not without faults

By EdBennett, 17-03-2022

For 90k, he really is a bargain. Most people will be able to do the SBC for probably 30k or less with good fodder, and if that's the case I'd certainly recommend.

Not as good as Numbers Up Ter Stegen, though he's still a quality keeper and at a much better price.

Diving

Good diving combined with exceptional height means he never concedes stupid longshots like other keepers. No problems here at all

Handling

Handling is very good- doesn't often spill the ball, and usually catches powerful shots as opposed to parrying them back in to play like most keepers. A real asset.

Reflexes

Reflexes are good for single saves, but he's not that agile so does concede a fair few second shots when the ball gets pushed back in to play after an initial reflex save. In 1v1 situations though, he's usually very good.

Positioning

Positioning is fantastic, never concedes due to being out of position like POTM De Gea or TOTY Donnarumma used to for me.

Speed

Speed is definitely not an asset of his, He does feel slow to rush off the mark, though he usually makes up for this with fantastic diving or reflex saves

Distribution

Not the end of the world but his kicking is pretty poor. Throws are definitely a preferred option, since these almost always go to the intend target

Overall

Definitely recommended if you can link him, since although he's not the best LaLiga keeper, he's definitely a close second and for a much better price than Numbers Up Ter Stegen. Worth a shot if you're on a budget.

Best keeper I've used

By BanPods, 12-04-2022

He saves the hardest shots saved I've ever seen, very agile and good on the ball when it comes to long shots/finesse shots, but sometimes likes to punch the ball on crosses instead of claiming it which can end up in conceding a goal, nevertheless I have used multiple uther keepers like TIF Lafont, toty Donnarumma, healdiners Trapp, and other decent gold GK's, never used a bettter one than this Courtois, he makes crazy 1 on 1 saves with his hands and feet, can control the ball very well and has crazy dives on basically unsaveable shots that he somehow saves, in some odd games though he had blunders, like I said not claiming the ball but punching it and sometimes he dives the wrong way even though the ball wasn't deflected or anything, but from my experience with other goalkeepers his mistakes were at a minimum and the great saves have outweighed that.

Great agility
Good on long shots
1 on 1
Comes for crosses

Likes to punch the ball on crosses sometimes
Not the best links cause of his nation
