How do you play Marcus Etherington?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (72) and jumping (59). Their strength is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: composure (41), aerial ability (46) and top speed (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 130 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 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 51 with a ceiling of 61 — that's +10 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.
