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.
