What role should William Smallbone have?
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. The game also rewards them with roles like Half-winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).

What are they missing?

Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 5,2 M€, with 39 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How much will they grow?
