82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

I want to see him starting more games next season. I don’t see the point in spending another 50m on someone when we can play him in midfield or right back.

And there lies the problem, he’s not a left back

Finished the game playing as the #9. :)

Did the Pep’s development plan make him as decent right back and decent midfielder?

He will turn 20 in November. I can’t see him becoming quicker player. He also lacks strength.

We will replace Kyle with proper right back and this is the spot that Rico needs to fight for.

Rico is a #8. He just doesnt have it as a RB imo.

We have alot of midfielders though, but in our midfield 3 id like it to be:

#10 - Foden/KdB/McAtee
#8 - Bernie/Lewis/Nunes
#6 - Rodri/Kovacic

I think that looks good. Nunes seems redundant in this system, unless he can learn to take over for Bernie in a year.

Edit: Added McAtee, bc if Nunes takes over for Bernie, then McAtee can take over for KdB in a year.

Not a normal RB but a Pep RB that pushes into the midfield, then yes, he could play RB for us and then he can be making a case for further involment further up the midfield pyramid.

I consider him a chemistry player. He doesn't give you an edge when he plays but doesn't lose you any edge either.

He'll be a role player at a top club for his career.

He is no full back Rico, I think he needs to go and play football every week this season, he is at the stage where he needs that.

I could see McAtee taking Rico's place in the squad.

I feel he could become a major player for us. He is still very young and has a lot of talent. He clearly has some on-field chemistry with Oscar too, which bodes well for a role in the midfield for him. Minutes please.

 

[skillman]

Needs to find his position I think (more Pep, not him) - constantly switching positions across the whole pitch can't be helping him develop too much.

Don't think he's good enough to be a full-back, mind, so that leaves midfield.
