Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are strength (60) and short passing (56). That weak strength is their signature.
Where they struggle: stamina (44) and marking (46). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 165 K€, with 1 K€ in 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 51 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +17 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 68. They start from 51, so they can rise +17 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 165 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
