Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
Where they really hurt you is short passing (86), reading of the game (86) and long passing (84). That top-tier short passing is their signature.
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
