What role should James Ball have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CB and CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: stamina (71) and short passing (62). Their stamina is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: composure (56) and vision (58). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 283 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
