How do you get the best out of Gijs Smal?
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. They can also play CM, CDM and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.

Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
