How do you play José Fonte?
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 and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are strength (81) and aerial ability (80). That notable strength is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: top speed (31). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
