Attack/Defence Awareness Card: Balanced

I consider many aspects here underrated but anyway there's plenty of time and footage to evaluate him properly.

Comparing with Sérgio Ramos' stats, I don't think he's underrated, maybe apart from his Header and Jump abilities. He would increase 1 point in Jump and maybe 2-3 in Header, but nothing more.

Updated

Why Sergio Ramos? Can we compare Virgil with Jaap Stam? They are both Dutch and have similar physical stats (height and weight). ^^

Holy fvck, Stam/Van Dijk as CBs.

Isn't HEA a bit underrated here? Sure, his height (195 cm according to the Premier League's website) helps him a lot. But regardless of that, 16 of his 19 goals and, considering only the 2017-2020 time span, 11 out of 12 are headers. Konami rated his HEA 87 in PES 2019, which is fair, in my opinion.

Ok , you are right about his HEA, the height I found of him when I did the set was 1.93 cm, I would change his height but also reduce a bit his jump.

Yes, I think a HEA 87 + JUM 85 combo should work.

He is like reds in BB

IMO I think it's too much for him to have red BB, he's strong but orange BB is more accurate.

Updated.

Well I don´t remember any player who push him away in 1 on 1 challenge. Looks like Vidic in this aspect.

Yes, but Vidić doesn't have a red BB, it could be a bit higher but IMO not red.

89 DEF for VVD is criminal, he was the greatest defender in 2019. 95-96 DEF at least.
