How do you get the best out of Niklas Sauter?
Between the sticks as GK. Sign them to lock down the goal for a long season; they give the consistency you ask of a starting keeper. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing keeper, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is diving (66) and reflexes (65). Their diving is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: kicking (57) and positioning (59). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,1 M€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
