In-game feel & playstyle
This Ederson Joga Bonito card is built around one elite trait, his 93 GK kicking, which is a rare number for a keeper and the reason he plays like a true ball-playing sweeper. If you build from the back, his distribution lets you launch fast counters and find your wingers with driven throws and accurate goal kicks. Behind the ball he is a solid all-rounder with 85 diving, 85 handling, 85 reflexes and 85 positioning, plus 188cm of height that helps him cover his goal and command crosses. His 82 reactions are good without being elite, so he reads shots reliably rather than pulling off miracle reflex saves.
Strengths
- ✅ 93 GK kicking, elite distribution that makes build-from-the-back and quick counters genuinely viable
- ✅ 188cm height, big frame to cover the goal and contest crosses
- ✅ 85 diving / 85 handling / 85 reflexes / 85 positioning, balanced stat spread with no glaring weak area
- ✅ 87 OVR, a strong, affordable keeper with no obvious gap in his game
Weaknesses
- ❌ 82 reactions, good but not elite; top-tier keepers sit higher and pull off more reflex saves in scrambles
- ❌ B meta tier, very good rather than the absolute best; the new TOTY and special keepers outclass him
- ❌ Trendyol Süper Lig, a thinner league for links than the Premier League or other big leagues
Best position, chemistry style & squads
He plays in goal, no surprise, and the chem style to run is Catalyst if you want to lean into his signature kicking, since it boosts distribution and turns his already elite 93 kicking into a long-range launchpad. If you would rather shore up shot-stopping, a Shadow style is not relevant for keepers, so consider boosting reflexes and positioning instead. His Brazil nationality is a huge asset for linking the deep Brazilian player pool, and the Trendyol Süper Lig tie is the limiting factor, so pair him with other Brazilians or Süper Lig defenders to keep chemistry flowing.
Final verdict & ratings
Buy him if you want a reliable, affordable 87 keeper who can actually start your attacks with that 93 kicking, and if you have Brazilian or Süper Lig links to chain. Skip him if you are chasing the absolute top of the meta, where elite reactions and special-card keepers win out, or if his league simply does not fit your squad. At 43.5K coins he is fairly priced for what he delivers.
Conclusion
A genuinely good budget sweeper keeper whose 93 kicking is the real draw. Not the best in the game, but smart value if the links line up.
