How do you get the best out of Rowan McDonald?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: stamina (71) and composure (62). That decent stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: long passing (55) and vision (58). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 354 K€ with 1 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. They're also out of contract soon (2025), 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 59 with a ceiling of 62 — that's +3 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
