FIFA 21 Viral Clip Shows Why Virgil van Dijk Is Worth 500K FUT Coins
Virgil van Dijk from Liverpool starts at 500000 coins in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, which is an absolutely colossal amount to pay at this stage of the game. But the defender's viral video proves why its price tag is so huge.
Last season, when the Merseyside club eased their 19th league title, some fans called for the statue to be returned to the Dutch centre. Some as a joke, others took it quite seriously for the future.
He has truly been a game-changer for the club since his arrival from Southampton and has earned an Ultimate Team card with a FIFA 90 rating of 21.
With the release of the game on October 9 for all editions, there was not yet enough time for the market value of the players to settle down. According to basis data FUTWIZ , it's already valued at over half a million on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Van Dijk's FIFA 21 clip goes viral
As usual, members of the game's online community shared gameplay clips and screenshots of their best scores since release.
One video in particular shows the rounds like no other, showing the centre-back making the most of the game's new AI blocks. Although, in fairness it should be said that this is not an ordinary block.
The ball bounces off Mohamed Salah's left boot and looks like it's about to hit the top corner of the net before van Dijk flies up to the ball and bats it in an unusual way for a corner. You must see it.

The video posted by Hav Salazar has over 2,6 million views at the time of writing. No one can believe what they're seeing, but yes, van Dijk seems to be worth the hefty price he's asking.
If he played this game on the way out, you wouldn't even need a goalkeeper.
