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 Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: stamina (56) and short passing (55). Their stamina is a bit short and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: ball control (53) and composure (53). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 314 K€ 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 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 54 with a ceiling of 71 — that's +17 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
Their potential is 71. They start from 54, so they can rise +17 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 314 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 55 — weak for their position.
