89 - Icon

Baffling awful sometimes

By ClassOnGrass40, 05-01-2023

Having packed him untradeable from an Icon pack, I can thank my stars I didn't pay 400k+ for this card. While he isn't bad by any means, he will simply perform much, much worse than a 400k price tag would suggest. Lots a lot of goals in that you would expect any 750 coin rare gold keeper to save but then also saves some surefire goals, a very weird card to use. Low driven shots are an absolute nightmare to play against with him as he will simply not save any of them no matter if its 18 yards away from him moving at snail's pace or popped straight at his feet. At the very least he is unbeatable on most outside the foot shots or finesse shots from outside the box but it won't counteract the headaches you will get from some of the goals he will let in from seemingly impossible angles. Don't really know how pros think this card is worth the coins because even with most people not doing timed finishing he still lets in some absurd goals. I can't imagine what it would be like if I was playing against Tekkz.

Overall I can't imagine spending anything over 150k on a goalkeeper, but if I had coins to burn I wouldn't come anywhere near this version of Van Der Sar for sure. Legend in real life, but sadly in this game he is a headache in net.

Makes a lot of great saves from the middle of the box
Almost unbeatable on outside the foot shots unless green timed with a player like Messi
Haven't had an issue with his distribution

Let's untimed very saveable shots in from baffling angles or outside the box
Dives out of the way out of some shots for some reason
Very slow, hard to have good keeper movement with him
400k!!!??? in January price tag
