Palmeiras · BrazilSCOUTING SUMMARY
Front-foot striker who combines defensive aggression with repeated runs across and behind the centre-backs.
PLAYING STYLEPlays with urgency, hunting loose touches and accelerating into the box as soon as possession turns over. He can carry through contact and finish early, but is more effective in a moving attack than as a stationary reference against a set defence.
FM26 TACTICAL FITBest as a Pressing Forward on attack or Advanced Forward in a 4-2-3-1 with an attacking midfielder close behind. Use counter-pressing, vertical passing and wide runners. A slower possession system should still provide rotations that open depth for him.
An aggressive, compact striker who attacks space with conviction, presses defenders and looks to finish actions quickly.
STRENGTHSPressing aggression; explosive box entries; running across defenders; direct finishing mentality.
RISKSUrgency can become impatience, while long spells with his back to goal reduce his involvement and can lead to forced actions.
DEVELOPMENT AREASTempo control in combinations, cleaner first touches under pressure and more varied movement when the opponent protects depth.
OUTLOOKHigh-upside first-team striker for an aggressive system, capable of becoming a consistent leading scorer.
