How do you play Rico Benatelli?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
Their best assets are stamina (72) and short passing (67). That decent stamina is their signature.
Where do they struggle?

Are they a good buy?
