Nick Pope Review:
Definitely the SBC that exists to have fun with. He got English/Premier League links which surely are better. You can enjoy the 5⭐ SKILL MOVES he got and can do some skill moves but he wasn’t that agile to execute them perfectly. Completed him as soon as he came out because of being the highest rated Goalkeeper in FIFA 22.
HEIGHT 10/10
His height was plus point. Being 199cm | 6’6″ he saved some good finesse shots. But if opponent got some crazy player with finesse shot traits or other perks, they are surely going to score those goals regardless.
SAVES 8/10
He made some crazy saves and surely got 3 points for me but in some games he wasn’t at his best. He felt like any other goalkeeper which I previously used.
LINKS 10/10
He is English, plays in Premier League and surely easy to link in the squad. I used Futties Varane to link him on 10 Chemistry and he did pretty good job.
TRAITS 9/10
He got good Goalkeeping traits COMES FOR CROSSES & SAVES WITH FEET which surely will be good thing about this card. You got to keep the Instructions for him to COME ON CROSSES so that he can some out to save the crosses or balls coming towards him. He can catch balls from crosses easily enough because of height too.
PRICE 10/10
For the price we are getting him is really WIN. At this point we are getting tons of duplicates from 85+ x10, so he can get completed for free.
FINAL VERDICT
Is he the best GK in game? SURELY NOT. In some games he’s world class, in which he practically wins the game for me. But in couple of games he is a let down on counter attacks and constant fire shots. He’s good at keeping the ball out of the net in a one off shot. But in a pressuring attack he falls apart due to his lack of consistency. I feel he never tries catching the ball and always tries pulling off wonder saves, which he ends up missing sometimes. Also anytime I try to rush him out it’s like he goes for a slide tackle rather than just driving the ball away so it’s an easy dink over the top for the attacker.
Now you decide if you get him or not but for the price and duplicates we are getting from 85+ x10, he is a big WIN.
The Review
NICK POPE
A goalkeeper we all needed at the end of FIFA 22 but with performance he just isn't that good. I would rate him better than some top GK's but TBH, he isn't best in game.
