Artisan
Veteran midfielder who compensates for declining athleticism with smart positioning and reliable ball retention in the middle third. Can pick a line of pass, but he's no longer a dominant physical presence and struggles when pressed high. Best deployed as a screen rather than a creator, and at 32 with average pace, he's genuinely vulnerable to modern pressing.
