Buffon... who doesn't like him?

By ToastKingTim, 25-06-2018

So, finally a Buffon special card that is worth trying. Since my defense usually sucks, I am very dependent on a good keeper. I tried a well known legend this Weekend League: Gianluigi Buffon, the man, the legend. He was doing extremely good in the first 10 games. No mistakes at all and only low driven shots were able to get though my Italian bulwark. Bonucci and Maldini deflected many shots as well. But then the opponents became more and more savage and Gigi was placed into tough situations. Compared to De Gea 97, which I usually play he is a little bit worse, because of the missing foot trait, but his incredible speed on the ground is a very big plus in that comparison. I often get 2nd chance goals and Gigi managed to save many of those situations.

As you can see below he has some cons, but he is absolutely worth trying.

If he goes diving he is quickly back on his feet for 2nd chances
Comes out well for corners
Extreme reflexes
Very quick at rushing out
Distribution

Missing Foot Trait (Low driven - kills him)
High Balls from the front are dangerous
Sometimes he struggels with longshots

Buffon!

This review is based on games in the WL.First couple of experiences with Buffon were pretty much the same most other reviews I have seen on this page - I found that thinking I had a 98 rated keeper behind me made my defending sloppy and I basically let my opponent have shots being far to confident. After those 2 horrendous loses that (I was sure were Buffon's fault )I started to treat him as any other keep...
