What role should Hayden Matthews have?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Wide back and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: jumping (77) and strength (73). Their jumping is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: composure (58) and aerial ability (61). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,7 M€ with 5 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How far can they go?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 77 — that's +13 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.
