Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: short passing (69) and reading of the game (62). Their short passing is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: aggression (56) and strength (58). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 1,4 M€ with 2 K€ 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 64 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +10 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.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
