England's goalkeeper dilemma

Hart
Hart, Butland, Pickford, Pope, Heaton, Forster?

2. JACK BUTLAND (Stoke City, 24) :

The o
Jack Butland is being considered for the England no.1 spot

Jack Butland, 24, has always been the man looking likely to step into Hart’s shoes. His senior debut was the first half of a friendly against Italy in Switzerland after Euro 2012 but the final qualifier against Lithuania in October was only Butland's sixth appearance. People playing FIFA in the career mode can lay testament to Butland's enormous potential. He is a super-confident keeper and can make some big saves, like what he has been doing in the Premier League so often against all of his opponents, but he can also suffer some tough days and is looking to work on his consistency.

Jack Butland may have made a few errors, but he still is considered to get the England No 1 shirt. Paul Lambert believes Jack Butland is the "best goalkeeper in Britain". Butland, by many, is considered to be the perfect figure to replace Joe Hart as the 24 years old is a commanding, agile and intelligent shot stopper who leaves no stone unturned to prevent the ball from going into the net.

PROS : Powerful, Agility, Distribution

CONS : Inconsistency
