98 - Premium SBC

Why So Meh

By rel10, 17-08-2018

You would hope that EA would put a little more attention into the performance of it's franchises highest rated GK. This card has some incredible strengths, but they aren't enough to overcome his weakness, the low driven shot. I know low driven shots are OP, but for Buffon they are literally unstoppable.

I still kept him in my team mostly because it's the end of FIFA 18 and many of my cards are untradeable, so making a new team is harder. At this point I just defend to his weakness. He'll stop crosses and long shots all day, so I pack the box with 2 solid CBs in TOTS Chiellini and TOTS De Vrij.

Value: the SBC was not too expensive, so good value considering just the rating, but not the performance.

Great against long shots

Good when rush goalie

ANY LOW DRIVEN SHOT WILL GO IN... SERIOUSLY, NEAR POST, FAR POST, 5 HOLE, HE CAN'T STOP THEM. EVEN FROM PLAYERS WITH MEDIOCRE SHOOTING.

After those 2 horrendous loses that (I was sure were Buffon's fault )I started to treat him as any other keep...

Buffon... who doesn't like him?

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 Ma...
