Still OP at end game

I generally play in Elite Divison and get 14-16 W in WL while not playing a sweaty game. Maldini PIM plays at the centre of the back 3 in a 3-5-2 formation, flanked by 2 more speedy CBs. I have used Anchor Chem style on him which is the best one for him as CBs must have high defending and physical stats and Anchor is required for boosting his Physical stats. He is the most effective in 1v1 situations where he can go shoulder to shoulder vs 99 Ronaldo also. He won't be the most effective in a formation with 2 CBs plus high defensive line. I play him in the way a CB should play, win the ball and no overdoing anything.

  • Will win almost all 1v1
  • Good physical stats with Anchor chem style
  • If you play correctly, he is better than most other CBs even in mid-August
  • Limited long passing
  • Low pace
  • Better in a 3 CB formation
  • Not the best from Corners

Great but not insane
So just over a week or so ago I completed Paulo Maldini's PIM SBC as I was in need of a centre-back, so I partnered him with FB Varane and they were a brick wall in rivals and champs. But they were a brick wall that could be pushed over. His tackling and interceptions were great, but his headers and agility weren't so. He lost many headers to smaller players like Rodrygo and Lucas Paqueta, not to mention that I conceded sever...

One to avoid :(
Right, where to begin.... If you're like me, and you've always dreamed of having the best possible version of Maldini and have never been able to afford him, this is your year. However, in my opinion, it's been a big mistake. Try his loan, and you'll see where 1.6m of my coins were flushed away on what is a very poor card given the current defenders available. Now, I needed a CB that could provide green links for Cheilini (ab...
