How do you play M. Riou?
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 Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (74) and composure (70). Their strength is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: aerial ability (61) and top speed (51). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,4 M€ with 6 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How far can they go?
They start from 66 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +6 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
