Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. They can also play LW and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward and Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Their weapons: acceleration (69) and top speed (66). Their acceleration is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: volleys (46) and composure (53). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 741 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
They start from 60 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +16 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.
