Maldini was without a doubt the best, fastest and most effective center back I've used this FIFA. I just don't know where to start with him; his pace, defending or AI are one of the best I saw in the game. Let's start with my favorite thing about him which is his pace. he is by far the fastest CB I have ever used giving me such a great advantage since nobody excepts a CB to come bolting at you. He's fast as hell and can catch up to attackers in an instant, I could keep on writing about his pace and have a 500 word essay just about it, but let's keep it short and talk about another one of his stats. His defending is straight up crazy, with great slide tackles, amazing standing ones and his pace! That's a trio too OP for the game! Another great aspect of his is his AI making crucial interceptions that if failed (which never failed), would guarantee a goal for my opposition. However there's one thing about him that I've noticed that isn't the best, being his physicality. He doesn't have the aggression to lunge into tackles which sometimes is an issue, regardless, he's still a beast even with low aggression. 100% recommend his SBC as it is only 300K and basically everyone's clubs are stocked these days.
1-His amazing pace
2-His defending and great AI
1-His aggression
So i played him a lot and i play against him a lot and i have to tell you he is washed.
he is a god in mid tier defending but against a ginola, mbappe or puskas he has no chance at all. i always like to say, if i see him in the other team, i get happy about the free win.
but tbh he is a great defender when it comes to auto-defending and when it comes to defending a mid-tier-card but i feel like for the price you can get so much better options. take 100k more and buy lucio or complete the ramos sbc.
imo he doesnt feel that fast, cant outrun the top tier cards.
so overall i wouldnt buy him for that price.
Passing
Defending Low/Mid Tier Cards
Auto Defending
66 Aggression (No Comparison to Ramos or Lucio)
Defending High Tier Cards is almost impossible
