What role should James Norris have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. 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: top speed (68) and acceleration (68). That run-of-the-mill top speed is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: marking (51) and reading of the game (54). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 620 K€ with 12 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 60 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +9 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
