4.5

A Unique fullback

By Waz98, 23-04-2019

If I had to put it in layman's terms: Imagine if Kyle Walker (I played this card at RB) was a much much better defender but almost incompetent going forward. That's basically what 88 Maldini feels like in-game, if you're looking for some to bomb down the wings with crazy overlaps and beat the backline with clever runs he's quite clearly not your guy. However, If you struggle with defending (especially 1-on-1) and feel like you need extra protection at the back you simply can't wrong with this card, back post headers? A thing of the past. Other than his exceptional marking and composure the two other things that put him in an other tier to your Marcelo's and Alba's when it comes to defending is his body-type and strength combined with his pace. Yes he doesn't really feel agile on the ball but a simple ball roll or drag back should help you evade the pressing winger and even if he gets caught on the ball or gets beaten by a La Croqueta he's simply taller and stronger than most wingers and will most likely win the ball back with ease. At 400k I would say he's slightly overpriced but if you're saving your millions and just waiting for TOTS I'd suggest giving him a go since his price won't really fluctuate in the coming weeks.

Oh Captain... (Paolo Maldini)

First I have to make a premise: I'm an AC Milan fan, I got a huge respect for this guy: 25 years with the same shirt, his palmares is incredible... let's see how is in game on this FUT 19I have this player in FUT 18 and I was amazed by his baby version. Well in FUT 19 is even better: I really appreciate the solid and multi-role players and Maldini can be used as CB and LB and he plays very well in both pos...
