How do you play Rafael Eßlinger?
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 Goalkeeper, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is diving (60) and reflexes (60). That a bit short diving is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: positioning (48) and kicking (52). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 274 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 (2027), 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 55 with a ceiling of 64 — that's +9 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.
