What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is diving (59) and reflexes (57). That weak diving is their signature.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: kicking (54) and handling (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 443 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
