How do you get the best out of Kodai Sano?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play LM and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Winger, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: stamina (81) and short passing (74). That notable stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: strength (58) and aggression (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?

How much will they grow?
They start from 71 with a ceiling of 82 — that's +11 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
