How do you get the best out of N. Bentaleb?
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 Deep-Lying playmaker and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: short passing (83) and aggression (77). Their short passing is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 10,6 M€, with 34 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
