a CB Maldini - nothing more or less

By OktoBaer, 02-02-2021

I packed him out of my Base Icon Set from the first Icon Swaps and at first i wasnt that happy with my pull. Because we all want R9, Pele, Cruyff, Eusebio,...

But after my first few games i couldnt be happier with him. Dont let distract you from the fact that his card is a LB.. he isnt. He is a pure CB.. and at that position one of the best. Of course he is Maldini.

So if you have the Coins give him a shot.. he wont let you down.

I played him ~200 games with LONG at the center back position and now ~100 games with BOATNG FB but Base Maldini is always the more present CB and ne makes nearly no mistakes.

he is a pure CB
insane positioning
strong
tall.. so he wins most air duells
good heading.. he scored 10 goals or so for me after corners
doesnt feel clunky at all

he is a LB so you must play him on 7 Chem or switch him ingame
he is expansive

So at first I said f*** it and played him as a left back for many game with a shadow and he did his thing. If you plan on playing him there he will get the job done for you, I guarantee, I feel like he can play any position in defense including CDM, just don...

Paolo Maldini

Once a CB, Always a CB

I packed this card in the Base Icon SBC and at first I felt bad about it. I mean it's Maldini but just not the one you want. However, I wanted to use him since I just spent 500k on him. So I put him at CB at 7 chemistry with an Anchor chem style and went into Rivals. At first, he was absolute trash. No matter what I did, he just could never stay in position and was always had a slow tackle about him. So after losing that ga...
