How do you play Michael Smith?
Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is aerial ability (75) and off-the-ball movement (73). Their aerial ability is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: top speed (51) and acceleration (52). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,1 M€ with 13 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is Michael Smith's best position?
