Roberto Carlos vs Marcelo: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.

Verdict

Roberto Carlos and Marcelo are the two Brazilian left-back Base Icons in FC 27 Ultimate Team, rated 90 and 89. One is a pace-and-power full-back built around set pieces and strength; the other is a smooth, skilful passer who plays like a midfielder at LB.

Roberto Carlos has the edge in PAC 91, SHO 83, DEF 85 and PHY 86, with shot power 96, free kicks 96 and the Dead Ball PlayStyle+, and he can also play LM. Marcelo wins on DRI 89, PAS 87, 5-star skill moves, a 4-star weak foot and First Touch, with short passing 93 and crossing 89.

I would pick Roberto Carlos for a physical, direct side that wants defensive cover, long shots and free kicks. I would pick Marcelo for a possession-based build that needs a flexible, technical outlet on the left.

Roberto Carlos wins 22 of 37 attributes.
