How do you get the best out of N. Barthel?
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 Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is tackling (60) and marking (59). That weak tackling is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: composure (46), aerial ability (53) and top speed (57). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 351 K€ with 5 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +14 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
