What role should John Mellberg have?
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. They can also play LB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (66) and aerial ability (63). Their jumping is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: composure (52) and slide tackling (58). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 915 K€ with 2 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +17 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.

Do they defend the box well?
