Federico Valverde vs Roberto Carlos in EA FC 27: which card is better?

This page sets Federico Valverde's Ultimate Scream card (88 overall, RB) against Roberto Carlos's Base Icon (90 overall, LB). Both have 91 pace and 85 defending on the face, and both lean on shot power of 96, so the difference comes down to side, foot, versatility and PlayStyles.

Valverde is the more flexible pick: he plays RB and also CDM, CM, RM and RW, has a 4-star weak foot and carries Jockey as a PlayStyle+ alongside Intercept and Quick Step, so he suits a tight defensive shape. Roberto Carlos is a left-footed LB or LM with only a 2-star weak foot, but he brings Dead Ball, Slide Tackle and Gamechanger, plus 96 curve and 96 free kicks. I would take Valverde for a right-sided or midfield slot and Roberto Carlos for a left-back who scores from range and set pieces.

Pick Valverde if you want a versatile, high-stamina right-sided player; pick Roberto Carlos if you need a left-back with elite free kicks and long shots.
