What role should Ian Maatsen have?
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 are you buying?
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.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
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.
How far can they go?
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.
