Amazing all-around

By MonsieurGull, 15-11-2017

So, i bought Maldini while the market was at a low. At first it was as an investment. I got him for 450 which is a good price compared to other icon LB's. Even though the price is so high for a LB, i cannot describe how good he has been for me.

Maldini is the complete defender for me. He wins almost every header, and attackers generally have a difficult time when facing him.

His pace makes him hard to outrun, and combined with his high level of defending, it makes him extremely good.

However, Maldini tends to be quite offensive sometimes, despite his M/H workrate, so be sure to keep him on stay back while attacking.

Somewhich which has suprised me very much is his offensive abillities. As mentioned he tends to go forward some times, but the times he has done so, he has been good. His shoot is really decent for a left back, and his crosses are just as good.

If you want to buy a LB, and you have the coins, i can only reccomend Maldini. At times it feels like having an extra CB.

tried him at cb not a good move

By mime, 11-01-2018

was fast, but was out done by david luiz who he was next to. against salah st this card is pointless as he hasn't got the aggression or agility to keep up. also his reactions are poor. i did move him from lb to cb so he got 10chem and had anchor on him. just not worth the 500+k spent. usually icon and good def are good at tackles and rarely miss them but this card did feel like i was playing a wb in def. added to the fact that he was out of pos so often. really disappointed at cb, but not sure about playing him on wing as i didn't see the need to have a 500k lb. was hoping he would be a cheaper alternative to the 92 or even the 90. not bad by any stretch in fact if he was 150k or 200k then mabye would have changed formation or played diff to add him in but 500k... no, can buy players who would save games with that. lol that being said sandro better on wing and luiz better in def.

faster than i ever remember maldini being

stamina wasn't issue

felt small esp next to proper def

weaker than i remember maldini even with chem

out of pos a lot

slow to turn

missed tackles

also since he is a wb the icon chem glue wasn't worth it, a central icon would have more links.
