By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should A. Essel have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (71) and aggression (70). Their strength is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: marking (51) and reading of the game (52). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 432 K€ with 3 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +19 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
