How do you get the best out of Marcelo?
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 CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: short passing (67) and stamina (66). Their short passing is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: reading of the game (52) and aggression (54). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 826 K€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How far can they go?
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +8 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 Marcelo's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Marcelo's rating go?

Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 52 — almost non-existent for their position.
