Edwin van der Sar vs Casillas: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.

Verdict

This is a head-to-head between two goalkeeper Icons: Casillas at 90 overall and Edwin van der Sar at 88. Both are Base Icons eligible for Evolutions, and both carry Pinged Pass, but they approach the position in different ways.

Casillas leads on the face stats that matter most for shot-stopping: REF 93 against 86, DIV 90 against 84, and KIC 84 against 79. He also has Footwork as a PlayStyle+ and the Sweeper Keeper role. Van der Sar is stronger on POS, 92 against 88, and he is 197 cm tall, with 1v1 Close Down as his PlayStyle+. Pick Casillas for reflexes and a keeper who plays with his feet; pick van der Sar if positioning and height matter more to you.

Casillas is the better all-round pick for most squads. Van der Sar suits players who want a taller keeper who closes down one-on-ones and values positioning.

Casillas wins 37 of 43 attributes.
