How do you play L. Bate?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (73) and short passing (68). Their stamina is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 2,5 M€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +7 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.
What is L. Bate's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
How high can L. Bate's rating go?
Their potential is 74. They start from 67, so they can rise +7 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 2,5 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 68 — decent for their position.
