| Playing style | Occupies the centre-backs, varies movements towards and away from the ball and attacks the box as the final action develops. | 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. |

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.
