How do you get the best out of A. Kanté?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Centre-half and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: stamina (75) and tackling (69). That competent stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: marking (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 2,2 M€, with 9 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How much will they grow?
They start from 66 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +12 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.
