FIFA 21 Player Has Somehow Scored 2000 Goals With Petr Cech On Ultimate Team

FIFA 21 Player Has Somehow Scored 2000 Goals With Petr Cech On Ultimate Team

What a record.

A FIFA 21 player has somehow managed to score 2000 goals with goalkeeper Petr Cech and fellow gamers online are in complete disbelief.

Reddit user u/dsrii has documented his run with the Premier League legend since the game's launch late last year.

Cech is best known for his spell at Chelsea and has been honoured by EA Sports with Icon cards in this year's game.

Dsrii is using his 86-rated card up top in Division Rivals and has confirmed a record of 2000 goals in 1276 games.

Playing with a goalkeeper up front is certainly a bold strategy but it clearly looks to be working against some very skilled players.

If you think all the goals are tap-ins or sweaty as well, think again.

The video opens with Cech scoring a wicked volley off a corner then transitions into a few solo efforts.

He's also scored from his own half (yes, really) and pulled off spins only Dennis Bergkamp can dream of.

Many on Reddit have been following this journey for some time and seeing the 2000 mark has seen them pay tribute to an incredible record.

One commented: "Now here's a man who's actually having fun."

Another added: "Is it weird that I somehow wanna match with him just to be destroyed by Cech and be a part of these videos?"

A third pointed out: "Bridging and Directional Nutmegging with Petr Cech. I think if this happened to me I'd uninstall the game."

While a fourth stated: "Did I see some Cech on Cech violence around the one minute mark? God I'm glad we don't play on the same platform OP, I would be fuming about being outplayed by someone who feeds Petr Cech for 90 minutes."

Some are furious however and belief it is further proof this year's instalment is 'broken' when it comes to online play.

That fury has spilled over to Metacritic and FIFA 21's PlayStation 4 version currently sits at 0.8/10 with nearly 2000 ratings.

Only 40 of the user reviews submitted are positive, with 15 falling into the 'mixed' category.

FIFA 21 was released last October for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

EA Sports' title has since launched on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Google Stadia.
