He is literally him. Got insanely lucky and packed him out of the 83x10 (fyi all other cards were 83 lol). I did have his gold card as well. Just as his gold, he is arguably the best defender in the game. His AI movement is phenomenal, he shuts down the middle automatically and blocks different paths to the box. Controlling him makes him even more overpowered as his standing tackles are incredibly efficient coupled with his very high strength and very big frame. He'll win any aerial duel and is always in the perfect spot for corners - it is just a gamble whether he will head it into the net or to the side, but I'd say 8/10 times it's towards the net to goal. I've found only another VVD or incredibly tall/strong player can shut down his headers, so taking the corner quickly to not allow your opponent to mark him is a must. This is the first and probably only card for a while that I'll give a perfect 10/10. The way he dominates the defense cannot be compared to any other CB in the game. Sure Varane and say Vidic/Blanc are also very good, but they lack the presence that VVD has on the pitch. Acquiring this card, or honestly even just his gold, is enough to give any player an extra 2 wins in WL so long as they are not completely inept at defending. This is Mbappe level of game changing for any squad, no matter who your previous CBs were. If you can afford him, get him or his gold.
