How do you play David Watson?
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 CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (78) and composure (68). Their stamina is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 2,6 M€ with 2 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 66 with a ceiling of 83 — that's +17 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.
