By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should D. Sotelo have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: short passing (63) and long passing (61). That weak short passing is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: composure (45) and reading of the game (56). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 590 K€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 59 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +11 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.
What is D. Sotelo's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM and CB.
How high can D. Sotelo's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 590 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 63 — weak for their position.
