How do you play John Mahon?
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. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender and Wide back, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is strength (71) and jumping (64). Their strength is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: reading of the game (54), composure (55) and top speed (53). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 283 K€ with 1 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 58 with a ceiling of 61 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

Do they defend the box well?
