SCOUTING SUMMARY

Close-control central midfielder who helps a team escape pressure and connect build-up to attacking midfield.

PLAYING STYLEReceives with opponents close, rolls away from contact and carries through the space created by the first challenge. He combines neatly around the box but is most distinctive when solving pressure in the middle third.

FM26 TACTICAL FITUse as a Central Midfielder on support or Segundo Volante in a double pivot. Pair him with a positionally disciplined ball-winner and provide forward passing options after he escapes pressure. Avoid making him the lone screen across the entire width.

A calm press-resistant midfielder who turns through central pressure and carries possession into the next line with unusual balance.

STRENGTHSClose control; balance through contact; press resistance; central carrying; composure in crowded areas.
RISKSA lone-pivot role can expose his defensive positioning over large spaces, and extended carries sometimes delay the earlier progressive pass.
DEVELOPMENT AREASScanning before deeper receptions, passing range to the weak side and consistent defensive intensity across full matches.
OUTLOOKHigh-upside first-team midfielder who can become an elite pressure-solving connector with stable tactical support.
