Thibaut Courtois blasts EA over 99-rated FIFA 21 pro player card EA SPORTSReal Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has blasted EA SPORTS over his 99-rated FIFA 21 pro player card, saying that he uses his Team of the Week instead of it. While you can never be 100% sure who you\u2019re facing on Ultimate Team, there\u2019s one giveaway when you\u2019re playing a professional footballer: their turquoise-colored pro player card with a 99 rating. Obviously, not every footballer has one, but often you\u2019ll find them running rings around you if they\u2019re any good at the game, and the 99 card is a daunting prospect to come up against. Courtois, though, isn\u2019t convinced. In fact he thinks his pro player card is considerably worse than even his base card, and refuses to use it now. While racing together in virtual F1, La Liga\u2019s most expensive goalkeeper was asked about his FIFA 21 team by FIFA streamer Peter \u2018Pieface\u2019 Shepherd, who asked if he uses himself in goal. Courtois confirmed that he does, but uses his Team of the Week card instead of his unique, EA-issued 99 card. Confirming that his TOTW card is better than the 99, the Belgian shot stopper said that \u201cthe 99 card is sh*t. Instead of making it better, they just put 99 but make it, like, 59.\u201d Through Pieface\u2019s laughter \u2014 and that of the stream \u2014 Courtois adds that \u201cit doesn\u2019t seem great,\u201d but he does have the safety of Real Madrid teammate Raphael Varane in front of him at CB.

When ratings were announced at the start of the season, Lukaku took serious issue with his, while more recently players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gareth Bale have complained about using their likeness without the rights to. While we wouldn\u2019t say no to a 99-rated pro player card, this does dampen the allure of them just a little.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
