The Italian legend is the highest-rated and best Icon centre-back in FUT, with a 94 OVR Prime, 92 OVR Mid and 88 OVR Base.
Maldini's Mid version sells for roughly 1.2 million coins on PlayStation and 1 million coins on Xbox, and the SBC is similarly valued, although you will be able to bring this price down by using untradeable cards in your club, of course.
This card is simply outstanding and boasts pretty much perfect defending stats, with 96 Standing Tackle, 96 Interceptions, 95 Sliding Tackle, 94 Defensive Awareness as well as 92 Heading Accuracy.
Mid Maldini also has 82 PAC, 82 PHY along with good dribbling stats for a centre-half.
Surprise Loan
Even if you aren't bothered about bringing a loan version of Maldini to your club, you will want to be completing this SBC as it also offers a Future Stars Swaps Token.
There is just one squad to submit and the requirements are as follows:
- Minimum one Italy player
- Minimum 81 Squad Rating
- Minimum 30 Team Chemistry
- 11 players in the Squad
Estimated cost – 9.05k (PlayStation) / 10k (Xbox)
Full TOTY XI out now
The official FIFA 22 Team of the Year cards are in packs now for a limited time only!
No less than five PSG players have made EA's Team of the Year, which seems utterly absurd considering they didn't even win the French league!
Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lionel Messi both won international trophies, but the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Mohamed Salah will surely feel aggrieved at missing out.
Mbappe has received a ridiculous 97 OVR striker card that boasts 99 pace and five-star skill moves which makes him the best TOTY card of the lot.
Jorginho tops the ratings for midfielders, but Kante will be the man everybody wants to pack in the centre of the park.
