82 - IF
Disclaimer: I play in division 1 and have over 100 games with him in my starting lineup
I packed Lafont from my FUT champs rewards and never used him because I had Alisson. One session I got really frustrated by Alisson conceding easy goals and decided to get rid of him and give other GKs a try. I tried Donnaruma, Kaylor Navas and De Gea but they all had the same problem- they’d make some difficult saves, but concede the easy ones.
I needed to find a balance so this led me to test out this card. To be honest, before using him I was sceptical because of its low rating in comparison to the other keepers but I decided to give it a try. This turned out the be the best decision I’ve ever made in FUT. He’s so consistent in game, he makes every single save he should be making, and concedes the chances that he should. I’ve never gotten frustrated with him as my keeper in 100+ games. I barely take out the time to write reviews but I just had to spread the gospel of Lafont to the masses. If you’re considering this card, just buy it and let his keeping do the talking, however, do not expect miracles!
Really tall
Very affordable
Really reliable facing shots inside and outside the box
He is who Donnaruma wants to be
I had a really long think about this and still
nothing

The only coins I have is from Rewards/SBC and games
I was using a Serie A squad. I find serie A very OP, and very cheap compared to Other Leagues like Premier etc
Then a miracle happened and I packed MBAPPE (untradeable)
I never had the luck to play with any CR7/Messi/Mbappe or even Ibra in his prime in the previous FIFA so of course I was going to build a team around him, so I selected Ligue 1.
Ligue 1 unfortunately is not a good league as Serie A to find players, but where you really struggle is GK position
Unfortunately there are no middle class GK. At first I tried Kaylor Navas, and OMG was I dissapointed. His stats look perfect, enhanced by a glove, but this guy looks so tiny in goal, he really plays so bad
So I looked at the other options.
Lopes is also rated as 82 but he is even shorter than Navas so I didn't even try
Then my vote went to Lafont. I have played appx 25 games with him. He is quiet ok. He will save what he should, concede what he should. Occasionally he would save a miracle or concede a crazy shoot
+ Best affordable keeper in Ligue 1
+ Very tall which is important aspect for FIFA GK
+ Is on quick sell price now, meaning you will never lose any coin, you can only gain (I doubt it will happen)
'- He is a 82 rated card. Solid and tall, but do not expect miracles
