Would you be able to give me a sketch of the characteristic curve Vin vs. Vo in order i can understand where to place the bias point?
Don't ask for something you can do yourself.
Simulate the Vin versus Id for the transistors you have.
From that you can tell how to bias them.
Generally you want a few tens of milliamps of bias.

Thank you for your answer , but i was talking about the voltage characteristic of the buffer not of the single mosfet. for the curve of the whole buffer there is no sense to plot vin vs id is easier to plot Vo vs Vin (which is the curve i was asking you) and check where the derivative is maximum dvo/dvin there is the place at maximum gain. Actually I already did it but I wanted to compare with your suggestion and discuss on it.

I know what you are talking about. But, as has been pointed out, the buffer won't work as shown. You can't plot what you want. Trying to get the characteristics of a circuit that doesn't work is pointless.
You need to plot the characteristics of the transistors so you can then determine how to bias them. You want the Vgs needed to get the desired bias current. Then you can design he bias circuit.

I just think that if something doesn't work you should also the reason why it doesn't work . For example : also a normal Common source made a by a NMOS and a resistor will not work if the bias voltage is too close to VDD or to GND then the CS will introduce crossover distortion but if properly biased then it can work. So how can you say that the amplifier doesnt work if you don't explore all the dynamic (voltage characteristic) of the buffer?
