Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (63) and finishing (60). That weak acceleration is their signature.
It's not all good: volleys (49) and composure (51). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 599 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.
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +22 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 ST.
Their potential is 79. They start from 57, so they can rise +22 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 599 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their finishing is 60 — poor for their position.
