How do you get the best out of Artem Smolyakov?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is tackling (68) and top speed (66). Their tackling is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: reading of the game (48) and marking (52). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 738 K€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How far can they go?
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
