What role should Matte Smets have?

Their weapons: tackling (80) and marking (78). That more than solid tackling is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 18,3 M€, with 20 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How much will they grow?
