Prós

While not the fastest full-back, Calafiori has enough speed to keep up with wingers and recover in defensive transitions.

His high reaction stat allows him to respond quickly to changes in play, helping with interceptions and defensive positioning.

A strong tackler with great defensive awareness, he excels in one-on-one duels and can read the game effectively.

His strength and aggression make him tough to beat in physical battles, whether in the air or on the ground.

His ability to play as a CB adds tactical flexibility, allowing him to slot into different defensive roles when needed.

His height is an advantage, especially in aerial duels and set-piece situations.

His defensive work rate ensures he prioritizes positioning and tracking back, making him a reliable defensive presence.

Contras

Once upgraded, the resources invested in him cannot be recovered, which might be a concern if he doesn't fit your squad long-term.

His stamina isn’t the best, meaning he might struggle in high-intensity matches.

Alternativas

Veredicto final
