Brazil Legends Game — Pelé, Ronaldo R9, Ronaldinho, Garrincha
Brazil have won five World Cups — more than any other nation. They produced Pelé. Garrincha. Zico. Romário. Ronaldo R9. Ronaldinho. Roberto Carlos. Cafu. Neymar. Generations of artists who turned football into something between sport and improvisation. On Vikto, you draft them all — across decades — against another fan and find out whose all-time Brazil XI wins.
Pick Brazil. Bid blind. Build the Seleção squad you’d back against anyone, in any era.
The Brazil icons
Vikto’s Icon designation honors Brazilian legends who transcended the national team — players who shaped not just Brazilian football but the global game. Icons receive a +5 base score boost and gold visual treatment.
Brazil’s defining Icons:
- Pelé — 99 — 77 goals in 92 caps. Three World Cups (1958, 1962, 1970) — the only player to win three. 1281 senior goals in his career across club and country. The defining player in football history. Full stop.
- Ronaldo R9 — 97 — 62 goals in 98 caps. Two Ballons d’Or. The 2002 World Cup recovery story — eight goals after years of knee injuries — is one of the great sporting narratives. The most complete striker the game has produced.

Vote for next Icon
Vikto’s Icon designation belongs to the community. Anyone can vote, anonymously, on which Brazilian legend deserves Icon promotion. The legends pulling the most votes are surfaced as Icon candidates for the game.
Should Neymar — Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 79 goals — finally earn Icon status? Should Kaká’s 2007 Ballon d’Or year tip him over the line? Should Thiago Silva’s two-decade defensive consistency be elevated? The community decides.
How the game works
Pick Brazil in your match. Six legends from the 36-strong pool are drawn at random and visible up front. You and your opponent each have $250M to spread across the six cards.
Bids are blind. Sealed offers, simultaneous reveal. Highest wins the legend.
The Brazil roster is unique because attacker depth is genuinely without parallel. You might draw Pelé and Garrincha in the same match. Or Romário and Ronaldo R9. Or Ronaldinho and Zico. Every match’s attacker bidding war is the most expensive on the platform.
After three legends each (one attacker, one midfielder, one defender), the duels resolve the match. The hidden Era Boost coefficient — only revealed at duel time — means even an 85-rated Leônidas can outscore a 99-rated Pelé on the day. Best of three wins.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Pelé rated 99 and not 100?
Vikto reserves the 100 ceiling for actively scoring with Era Boost in a match. Pelé at 99 base with his maximum 1.15x Era Boost outputs 113.85 — the highest possible final score in the game.
Why are there 13 attackers and not 12?
Brazil’s attacker pool is simply too deep to cap at 12. Pelé, R9, Garrincha, Ronaldinho, Romário, Rivaldo, Zico, Jairzinho, Neymar, Bebeto, Tostão, Leônidas, Adriano — every one of them earned their roster spot. The Brazil roster gets a 13th attacker slot.
Where’s Vinícius Jr?
Vinícius Jr is on the shortlist. Vikto adds active players once their international contribution has built a defining body of work. Vinícius’s club legacy at Real Madrid is being processed in that roster separately.
Are Pelé and Ronaldinho the highest-rated cards in the game?
Pelé at 99 is the highest base score across all clubs and nations. Ronaldinho at 94 is among the top 10. Brazil dominates the upper tiers of the global rating system more than any other nation.
Why is Roberto Carlos a defender Icon at 93?
Roberto Carlos redefined what a left back could do. His goals from set pieces (the 1997 France free kick is the most famous), his attacking output, his speed up and down the touchline — all of it pushed defenders to play offensively. He’s an Icon for redefining a position.
Can I play Brazil vs Germany or Argentina?
Cross-team tournaments — including the classic Brazil vs Germany and Brazil vs Argentina formats — are rolling out progressively. The 7-1 of 2014 will haunt these rosters in good ways.
Is the 1970 World Cup squad fully represented?
Yes. Pelé, Carlos Alberto, Rivelino, Gérson, Tostão, Jairzinho, Clodoaldo — the entire backbone of arguably the greatest international team ever assembled. You can build a 1970 starting XI across matches.
