More on Paolo Maldini →Left back with a sledgehammer left foot. 2002 World Cup winner. His banana free kick vs France (1997) still defies physics. Real Madrid Galactico.
Signature: The impossible free kick
$3 take: Sweet spot. Lets you afford a $5 GOAT or two $3 anchors.
More on Roberto Carlos →Roberto Carlos is the cheaper pick at $3, leaving you $7 for the rest of your squad.
Better value depends on the rest of your $10 squad. Both can fit in a $10 lineup — but only one at a time if combined cost exceeds your budget ($7/10 = ✅ pair them).
Paolo Maldini costs $4, Roberto Carlos costs $3. Roberto Carlos is cheaper.
Yes — combined cost is $7/10, leaving $3 for other positions.
Paolo Maldini is in the GOAT tier.
