Tom Smith 58

Tom Smith is a Bronze goalkeeper with an overall of 58 in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, listed at Colchester in the EFL League Two for England. His standout traits are diving and reflexes, both at 60, the best figures on the card. His base rating has risen by one point from FC 26, where it was 57.

This is a goalkeeper, so it belongs in the GK slot and should be picked for its shot-stopping rather than its pace. Diving and reflexes at 60 make it reliable for saves, and kicking at 58 helps with distribution. Watch the weak points: composure at 27 and reactions at 54 are below the rest of the card, and speed at 37 limits any movement outside the box.

This card suits a budget squad that needs a serviceable keeper in a Bronze price range and can be built into an Evolution. It is less suited to players who want a high-rated goalkeeper with strong composure.
