What role should Gonçalo Esteves have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as RB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are top speed (76) and acceleration (75). That good top speed is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: stamina (55) and crossing (60). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 1,5 M€, with 4 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're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How much will they grow?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +8 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.
