Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. They can also play CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are top speed (64) and acceleration (63). Their top speed is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: volleys (45) and aerial ability (51). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Their market price sits around 399 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +18 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.
