Player Review
97 - TOTS
I was initially really happy when I got this guy from the PL premium upgrades when I was cycling through some fodder. I thought I’d gotten myself a top end goalkeeper, good enough to last me until the end of the game.
Boy was I wrong.
I’ve just put him into the Danny Ings SBC, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments I’ve had all year. That’s how bad he’s been for me.
I played ~ 200 games with the card, mostly in Champs and Div 4/5 rivals. I’m a steady champs player, can usually get gold 2 but anything beyond that is usually a struggle.
Alisson was the worst player on the pitch for me every game, bar none. Sure, he made the occasional good save, but far too often he’d let a ridiculous low percentage shot go in, or come charging out of goal with no prompt and let the opponent score an easy goal. He’d flap at every cross, often leading to good chances for the opponent, and his throws were atrocious. I’d try and do a quick throw to my LM or RM (I play 352) and 90% of the time he’d throw it straight out of play, or way in front of my player.
So, why did I play so many matches with him? Lack of options at centre back. I have an untradeable 95 MATS, but no decent La Liga centre backs. I did the Flashback Miranda, and have some decent PL defenders, so he was kinda necessary.
I promise I’m not being hyperbolic, or overly critical because of bias. I’m a Liverpool supporter, and love the guy irl, so I desperately wanted him to be good. That’s probably why I gave him so many games. When the Ings came out requiring an 88 rated squad I decided enough was enough, and off he went.
In summary - don’t buy this card. I’ve used silver players better than him. Stick to Ter Stegen or Oblak if possible. Handanovic has also been very good for me in the few games I’ve played with him.
I can honestly say I’ve never hated a card as much as this on any FIFA, and I’ve been playing since 09.
97 rated so he’s great to put in an SBC
Reasonable shot stopper
Incredibly satisfying to get rid of. Seriously, it’s like therapy.
Rushes out of goal too quickly and erratically
Lets easy shots in
Never catches the ball, always punches
Throws out are awful
Gets dominated at corners
Makes a meal out of everything. Never makes a save look easy.
Far more expensive than some far better goalkeepers. Normal MATS destroys this card.
