How do you get the best out of Nicolás 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 (87), marking (84) and reading of the game (84). Their jumping is elite 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 5 M€ with 15 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
