By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024

How do you get the best out of Gareth McElroy?

Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.

What are their strengths?

Their weapons: tackling (54) and slide tackling (53). Their tackling is a liability and it's the trait to build their game around.

Where do they struggle?

Their weak points: crossing (40) and reading of the game (50). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.

Are they a good buy?

Their market price sits around 119 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. And with a contract until 2024, you have leverage to bring the price down.

How much will they grow?

They start from 51 with a ceiling of 61 — that's +10 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
