What role should Rafa Marín have?
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 Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: jumping (76) and tackling (73). That competent jumping is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 3,9 M€, with 40 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. 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 much will they grow?
They start from 70 with a ceiling of 81 — that's +11 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.

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 70 — run-of-the-mill for their position.
