How do you get the best out of Matthew Smith?

What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (71) and top speed (66). That decent acceleration is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: aerial ability (51) and composure (52). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 201 K€ with 1 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
