How do you play Jonathan Russell?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (71) and short passing (67). Their stamina 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 signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,2 M€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +4 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

Are they reliable on the ball?
