Newcastle United · BrazilSCOUTING SUMMARY
Complete midfield organiser who combines creative responsibility with aggressive duel and counter-pressing work.
PLAYING STYLEShows for the ball in difficult central positions, protects it through contact and plays forward with disguised passes or carries. He can direct deeper build-up, press as a number eight and arrive late to influence the penalty area.
FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as a Roaming Playmaker or Central Midfielder on support in a 4-3-3. Place a disciplined holder behind him if he is given freedom to press and advance. A compact, high-energy structure lets him create without leaving the centre unprotected.
A combative central playmaker who receives under pressure, breaks lines with disguise and adds leadership and scoring presence around the box.
STRENGTHSPress resistance; disguised progression; competitive duels; leadership; final-third arrivals; ability to play as a six or eight.
RISKSAggressive duelling can create disciplinary risk, and using him as the sole defensive screen may constrain his best creative and attacking movements.
DEVELOPMENT AREASMore selective challenges, quicker weak-side switches and consistent spacing with a second central midfielder during aggressive pressure.
OUTLOOKImmediate elite-level midfield leader whose versatility supports several FM26 tactical identities.
