Jerzy Dudek Player Review

Pros
Excellent diving ability
Dudek stretches very well to reach powerful shots. His diving animations feel strong and reactive, allowing him to cover corners effectively.
Very good reflexes
His reflexes are sharp, especially in close-range situations. He reacts quickly to sudden shots inside the box and often pulls off impressive reaction saves.
Good positioning
He positions himself well in most scenarios. By staying balanced and aligned properly, he reduces shooting angles and makes it harder for attackers to find open corners.
Outstanding handling
Handling is one of his standout strengths. He catches and secures the ball cleanly in many situations, reducing unnecessary rebounds and second-chance opportunities.
Sharp reactions on rebounds
In rebound scenarios, his reactions feel quick and alert. He often recovers fast enough to attempt a second save if needed.
Reliable in one-on-ones
During one-on-one situations, Dudek stays composed. He doesn’t rush unnecessarily and makes himself big to block shots effectively.
Cons
No special traits
He lacks special goalkeeper traits, which means he doesn’t get additional in-game boosts compared to elite-tier keepers who benefit from key GK traits.
Limited long distribution
Long ball distribution is not his strongest area. Without the Long Thrower trait, his ability to start quick counters is limited, although his basic kicking is still decent.
Height disadvantage
At 6.2, his height is decent but not ideal in the current meta. Taller goalkeepers around 6.4 or more often have better reach in certain high-corner situations.
Finesse shot vulnerability
Due to his height and reach, finesse shots aimed at the top corners can sometimes be difficult for him to stop consistently.
Conclusion
Jerzy Dudek is a solid and dependable goalkeeper with strong reflexes, excellent handling, and reliable positioning. While he performs consistently, the lack of traits and slight height disadvantage keep him just below the very top-tier goalkeepers.
Rating 9.2/10
