How do you play Daire Patton?
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. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: short passing (58) and tackling (54). Their short passing is a bit short and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: strength (45) and reading of the game (51). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 295 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 55 with a ceiling of 65 — that's +10 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.
What is Daire Patton's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Daire Patton's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 295 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 51 — very poor for their position.
