Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is tackling (61) and reading of the game (57). That a bit short tackling is their signature.
It's not all good: composure (44), aerial ability (52) and top speed (53). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 371 K€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +12 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 potential is 68. They start from 56, so they can rise +12 with minutes and development.
