I. Maatsen is a wing-back at Aston Villa (79 overall, LB) — competent at that. At 23 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 84): the sweet spot between output and projection. Their big weapon: acceleration (88).
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. 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 LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: acceleration (88), top speed (87) and slide tackling (78). Their acceleration is elite and it's the trait to build their game around.
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Worth around 28,9 M€ with 100 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 79 with a ceiling of 84 — that's +5 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.
Their best position is LB, though they can also play LM.
Their potential is 84. They start from 79, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 28,9 M€, with 100 K€ wages.
Their top speed is 87 — outstanding for their position.
