Manuel Locatelli

Locatelli's Heartbeat archetype and Box-to-Box blueprint make him a strong presence in midfield, with his exceptional stamina, pass range, and tackling allowing him to control the tempo of the game. While his limited mental attributes may lead to discipline issues, his strong technical and physical skills make him a valuable asset in a team that emphasizes high-intensity pressing and quick transitions. A team that values patient build-up and durability could benefit from his availability and build-up contributing abilities, using his first touch and pass accuracy to create scoring opportunities and exploit opposition vulnerabilities.
