Legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is rumored to be a part of the EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 lineup, based on a leak by FUT Scoreboard on X. This is one of the most popular and reliable leakers when it comes to Ultimate Team leaks, so fans can expect the Icon shot-stopper to receive a boosted version soon.
Gianluigi Buffon retired from the sport last year and EA immediately introduced him as an icon in FC 25. His 91-rated base version is already regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the game, which is a testament to his legacy in the sport. If leaks are to be believed, his special version in EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 will be even better.

Gianluigi Buffon is rumored to be part of the EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 squad in Ultimate Team
The first batch of Winter Wildcards included current-gen superstars alongside legends of the sport, with Vinicius Junior, Erling Haaland, and Ronaldo Nazario headlining the promo. The EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 lineup is setting up to be no different, with Gianluigi Buffon being rumored to be a part of this squad's Icon roster.
The former Juventus goalkeeper has a base rating of 91 in the latest title and possesses the Far-Reach+ PlayStyle. This trait, along with his tall frame and excellent stats, makes him an exceptional shot-stopper on the virtual pitch.
What will Gianluigi Buffon's special version in EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 look like?
The legendary Italian has already received a special version this year, but his On This Day Icon SBC item was lower rated than his base item. This leaked special card could be his first big boost, and FUT Scoreboard predicts that he will be 92-rated with the following key stats:
- Diving: 95
- Handling: 87
- Kicking: 79
- Reflexes: 94
- Speed: 52
- Positioning: 90
He is also rumored to possess the Deflector+ PlayStyle in addition to his previous Far-Reach+ PlayStyle, which would make him the first goalkeeper in the game to have two PlayStyle+ traits.
Overall, Gianluigi Buffon's inclusion in the EA FC 25 Winter Wildcards Team 2 squad will only make the promo release more exciting for gamers looking to test their luck and add the iconic goalkeeper to their rosters.
