How do you play Olwethu Makhanya?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Wide back and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (74) and strength (69). That unremarkable jumping is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: reading of the game (49) and composure (52). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 443 K€ 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. They're also out of contract soon (2026), 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 57 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +12 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.

How high can Olwethu Makhanya's rating go?

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 54 — a liability for their position.
