Valuation and contract
Marek was valued at £2.4m in the test game played however what needs to be pointed out is he had only really just signed for Napoli and this will play a big factor if you want to buy him early on.
I did a test and placed a bid for Marek for £3.6m and this was
Stats
In our test game we had a look at his stats and have written a bit about each one. What are his strengths.
| Passing |
| Ever heard of a defensive midfielder that can't pass? Ok I have before and maybe he plays for my local lower league team but in the top flight you don't see it. Very important for any midfielder. |
| Technique |
| In a league like the Italian one technique is very important and Marek has the qualities here. Mixed with composure its a good combination. |
| Creativity |
| To be honest I don't know many defensive midfielders who have a lot of creativity but in this test game Marek did. If you have someone who can hold the ball, pass it well and create space for others thats some player... |
| Determination |
| This is a key stat for a defensive midfielder but can lead to cards being dealt but his aggression rating was low so maybe not. |
| Stamina |
| You won't need to sub Marek and thats what you want to hear, unless he is injured or overplayed. |
The Gaffa's opinion
Marek has a lot of potential but he is like many other players and it will require a bit of much to start off with very good stats. In our test game I would say I would buy him without question for the future as he is a hot talent but its not 100% certain he will be in all games.
Rating: Next Vieira? Possiblity.
