What role should James McCarthy have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is composure (71) and ball control (70). Their composure is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: stamina (30) and reading of the game (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 259 K€ with 32 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is James McCarthy's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
