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 and Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
Their weapons: strength (77) and stamina (73). Their strength is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: reading of the game (51) and marking (52). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 456 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +16 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
