How do you play John Ruddy?
Between the sticks as GK. A first-choice keeper without question for their level: safe between the sticks and one-on-one. The game also rewards them with roles like Sweeper keeper, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is handling (69) and positioning (68). Their handling is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 153 K€ with 19 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
