FIFA 21: Thibaut Courtois states 99-rated card "is sh*t"

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has claimed that his 99-rated FIFA 21 pro player card is useless, and he uses his Team of the Week card instead of it.

99-rated Pro Player Cards

While you can never be 100% sure who you’re facing on Ultimate Team, there’s one giveaway when you’re playing a professional footballer: their turquoise-colored pro player card with a 99 rating.

Footballers, such as Declan Rice, have flaunted their pro player card stats, with 99s across every single statistic!

Confirming that his TOTW card is better than the 99, the Belgian shot stopper said that “the 99 card is sh*t. Instead of making it better, they just put 99 but make it, like, 59.”

Courtois added that “it doesn’t seem great,” but he does have the defensive stability of Real Madrid teammate Raphael Varane in front of him at CB.
