Freddie already fits the left-back role well (Scout Fit 89). The gap isn’t the role — it’s team need (70) and his development pathway (69).
Required role fit is his strongest factor (96). His ratings suggest he can carry the ball out, overlap down the left and pass forward early.
What I’d consider:
- Use him as the outlet that breaks out of your low block.
- Keep him on the left rather than inverting — weak foot is one of his lowest ratings (8).
- Pair him with a covering centre-back so his runs don’t leave space behind.
Worth checking live: how he defends inside a low block, and his composure when he’s pressed onto his right side.
Based on his ratings and ScoutLink’s compatibility engine — ScoutLink has no tracking data.
