How do you get the best out of Curtis Nelson?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Stopper and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (89) and strength (86). Their jumping is top-tier and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: composure (56) and top speed (61). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,1 M€ with 12 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
