How to get the best out of N. Otamendi in Career Mode
N. Otamendi is a centre-back at SL Benfica (82 overall, CB) — more than solid at that. At 37 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. Above all they stand out for their jumping (89).

How do you get the best out of N. Otamendi?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Stopper and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (89), marking (84) and aerial ability (84). Their jumping is top-tier and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 6,5 M€ with 25 K€ 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.
