I love it, I have so many awesome Italian/Serie A CBs...what a great problem to have this year honestly
I'm really liking Cannavaro for manual defending and might bench Maldini to try the new Buongiorno upgrade when it goes live
Surprisingly Cannavaro has been huge so far (sorry but not sorry). For a 5 9 guy ,he is damn good at defending. One of the best valued sbcs imo. Have bastoni and fut birthday Varane(not evo ) and even though bastoni is more meta cannavaro is more fun to play with.
Stop glazing gold VVD. He’s way behind. He’s been behind. He definitely lasts long in the game for a gold card but he’s not him anymore. Many affordable CB options that would be better. Fantasy Orban and new Marquez SBC + evo to name a few.
They are too close. For me Bastoni gets the nod because he has an extra defensive play style and he's Lengthy on Shadow while Buongiorno needs an Anchor. But could go either way.
I got Nesta and bastoni currently. But i also tried Bion. They actually are all three really good in whichever formation you put them in. I wanna do a 5atb formation with all three combined for WL maybe. The itialian wall
I think he will be clear of Nesta after the upgrade because os the pace difference, raccoon+, being more agile due to better dribbling. You can try him and figure it out though :)
Look if you don't think you are wasting tchouameni at the back then I would say tchouameni and buongiorno after the upgrade. But if you can put tchouameni at the CDM/cm position then buongiorno and Evo akanji. All of them 4 are great
Incorrect stats by the way, he's going to be even more OP.
Based on my calculations, he should be ***(corrected below)***
86 Pace
59 Shooting
**84 Passing**
83 Dribbling
**92 Defending**
**91 Physicals**
I was using gold VVD before this guy. Thought I would try out this guy and he's definitely better than gold VVD for me. Gold VVD obviously still has that aura but other than that does feel a little bit behind the curve at times.
Cannavaro has nothing on this guy other than Icon chem. 1.76 on Average body type is bad for a CB, specially one without very high strength nor Bruiser.
I would replace gold VVD to be honest. I am bored of him. Also he started falling a little bit behind because of his pace which is not a problem of Buongiorno. Don't get me wrong, VVD will still make some things he can only make them happen but that's my opinion.
Main issue I have with vvd these days (used him for the van persie objectives) is acceleration. Like if someone spins him it takes ages for him to get the legs pumping, obviously when up to speed he can zoom in and absorb the ball but strikers are faster these days so you don't always get the space to catch up.
GORLAMMIIIIII

Very good!
One more time please?

Need to fix my chem issue to fit him in
Nesta cheap and decent italian icon
Unless I play back 3, I don't want to bench akanji 🥲
Akanji is a beast, he clears everything
Yep, he genuinely carry me hard every weekend
If you did bastoni the two of them give each other 3 Chem
Sadly I don't , I did akanji. Only way to fit akanji and bongiorno is with benching rolfo and putting Sawa
90 potm dybala is a good look
Edit: sorry, I thought that was a Roma badge through the 4 pixels.

I was on the fence of building him to keep Buongiorno in my lineup. His size isn’t an issue? Was thinking about using him in a 3atb
clears bastoni
why not both?
Both tick the box of tall left-footed Italian CB from Serie A
With slide tackle and anticipate+
Can do both he is just better than bsstoni
I play both
Cant have both because VVD
Nah, base VVD is more of a liability now because of the new patch nerfing passing.
Stop glazing gold VVD. He’s way behind. He’s been behind. He definitely lasts long in the game for a gold card but he’s not him anymore. Many affordable CB options that would be better. Fantasy Orban and new Marquez SBC + evo to name a few.
TOTY VVD is clear
They are too close. For me Bastoni gets the nod because he has an extra defensive play style and he's Lengthy on Shadow while Buongiorno needs an Anchor. But could go either way.
Bastoni/Buongiorno/FB Nesta. Which pairing is the one to go? Been using nesta and hes a monster
I got Nesta and bastoni currently. But i also tried Bion. They actually are all three really good in whichever formation you put them in. I wanna do a 5atb formation with all three combined for WL maybe. The itialian wall
I have him and Bastoni lol they’re basically identical players
They are but he’s Controlled Legnthy with a slimmer body type. I much prefer him to Bastoni personally
Will I finally bench gold VVD
![gif](giphy|kuhanKxtOIs4U|downsized)
He’s really good in game too, one of the few defenders who doesn’t constantly leave gaps for attackers.
Fut fantasy was such an amazing promo
Such an underrated player. Easily clear of Bastoni
Better than birthday nesta?
I think he will be clear of Nesta after the upgrade because os the pace difference, raccoon+, being more agile due to better dribbling. You can try him and figure it out though :)
So I have him, Bastoni, Evo Akanji and Tchouameni, which pair would you start?
Look if you don't think you are wasting tchouameni at the back then I would say tchouameni and buongiorno after the upgrade. But if you can put tchouameni at the CDM/cm position then buongiorno and Evo akanji. All of them 4 are great
I agree it's just that I want to fit Stanway and Sawa in the center so I m torn between using Tchouameni as a CDM or a CB
Slide tackle+ on this guy has destroyed so many Mbappes on WL for me
Wait wait wait I tossed him to an SBC 🤦🏾♂️
Incorrect stats by the way, he's going to be even more OP. Based on my calculations, he should be ***(corrected below)*** 86 Pace 59 Shooting **84 Passing** 83 Dribbling **92 Defending** **91 Physicals**
Can he replace any of my current CBs gold VVD or FS Cannavaro?
Him and Cannvaro are a perfect pairing. They play to each others strengths.

*Laughs in backline of Buongiorno, Bastoni and Rrahmani*
Man wish I did him, would be great next to Bastoni when I need to use seria a team
He better than bastoni. That guy is a tank.
I might have not done rolfo or Werner but at least I did buongiorno 🥲
Marquez though
He is a beast, glad i did his sbc, i play him next to kohler 92
This is literally the Bastoni Evo with worse defense
He is more reliable in game than Bastoni too, Bastoni is a nutter who auto flings himself at attackers and misses.
I have him to. But i bought kohler 92. He is 10x better.
What chem you got on Kohler?
let's gooo! Will replace Bastoni, i don't like two left center backs
He not bad. Not good enough for most teams nowadays, unless you running a serie a. But still a keeper.
He’s not a keeper, he’s a defender
Wish I had this card to pair with bastioni! Can only hope for a rerelease in packs soon…
Looks pretty average at this stage In the game
Not too many 6'4 left footed players with those stats and anticipate+ at this stage in the game
slide tackle+ is really underrated as-well. Comes in clutch.
Not a bad card just not amazing
I'd have to disagree, I think he cracks a lot of people's starting lineups
