How to get the best out of Pelayo Fernández in Career Mode
Pelayo Fernández is a centre-back at Rayo Vallecano (65 overall, CB) — poor at that. At 22 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 72): the sweet spot between output and projection.

How do you get the best out of Pelayo Fernández?
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 are you buying?
What makes them reliable: strength (68) and tackling (67). Their strength is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: composure (54), aerial ability (61) and top speed (51). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,5 M€ with 7 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How far can they go?
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +7 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.
