| Playing style | Stays active across the front line, threatening depth while remaining available for combinations around the penalty area. | Comfortable dropping towards the ball, rolling a defender and driving forward before releasing a runner. His power is obvious, but the key tactical value is the variety: he can lead the line, drift into a channel or act as a wall for midfield arrivals. |

CHOOSE FOR THIS ROLE
Chris Wood
Deep-Lying Forward · SupportUse as a Complete or Deep-Lying Forward with runners attacking beyond. Keep support distances short and avoid reducing the role to repeated isolated aerial service.

Victor Boniface
Deep-Lying Forward · SupportUse as a Complete Forward on support or attack in a 4-2-3-1, or as the central striker in a transition-led 3-4-2-1. Give him runners beyond the ball and licence to roam; a rigid penalty-box-only role wastes his carrying and combination play.
