How do you play D. Mertens?
Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Play them between the lines with freedom to receive and thread the final ball; they turn possession into chances. They can also play ST. The game also rewards them with roles like Shadow striker and False 9, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: composure (87), ball control (84) and curve (83). That outstanding composure is their signature.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 7,6 M€ with 50 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. 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.
