How do you play Rafael Lobato?
Their place is out wide as RW. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play LW and RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is curve (70) and top speed (69). Their curve is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: crossing (58). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 2 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 63 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +15 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
