Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. They can also play RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Their weapons: strength (68) and jumping (67). Their strength is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: composure (54) and marking (58). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 649 K€, with 1 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. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 60 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +14 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CB, though they can also play RB.
