How do you get the best out of Stephen Welsh?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is jumping (80) and strength (73). That very good jumping is their signature.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: top speed (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,9 M€ with 25 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. They're also out of contract soon (2027), 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 68 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +5 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
