Van the Man
ByDutchfootball1723-12-2023

20 games in - Do not expect a clean sheet because this man will s**t the bed at every opportunity. He is very fast (like really fast) off the line to close down on a defender that has broken through, just to dive in the wrong direction. Not that he would ever let it get to this point but he is great at scoring PK's so technically in a shootout if it came down to the GK to score he is your guy!

Speed - He is very fast (like really fast) for a goal keeper

Great shooting - exactly what I need in a keeper

Rush Out Playstyle - He is the best example of this playstyle

Closes the Gap - he can get to the defender before they shoot just to miss the save

Height - Is 6'2 the new 5'6 (Seems smaller in game)

PK's - Answered all of our prayers (haven't you always wanted a keeper as your best PK taker?)

Price - for 80k I can only think of a couple hundred better keepers

In game stats - 2396 laterally the highest of any GK in the game at his release

Investment - Even if you play 20 games with him and he trashes your win loss record he will only increase in value as more keepers enter the game


I cant think of a con I would highly recommend if not to start on the team at least for

Ruud van Nistelrooy

very fun if you know what to expect
i got him in the icon encore pack and i wasn't thrilled as i already had yashin but i still kept him around as a fun option. i ended up submitting yashin into his own cb sbc and i was left with no other goalie than van nistelrooy. instead of buying a proper one i decided to give big old ruud a chance and i've used him as a starter for about 30 matches. this guy is the funniest card i've ever used, he's absolutely trash and he...
