Key strength: Aerial dominance
Defensive anchor
Elche CF find themselves in a precarious 15th place in the table, fighting to maintain their league status, and 28-year-old centre-back Bambo Diaby remains a peripheral figure in their defensive setup. The Spanish defender has made just two appearances this season, accumulating 180 minutes on the pitch without finding the net or providing an assist. Operating as a 'defensive anchor' with his key strength being 'aerial dominance', Diaby's 55-rated defending and physical attributes suggest he offers a solid, no-nonsense option at the back. However, with teammate John Donald - a 70-rated centre-back - commanding the starting role, Diaby faces an uphill battle for regular minutes. Valued at €800,000, the former youth prospect represents a squad depth option for Elche as they navigate a challenging campaign. His 45-rated pace and modest overall rating of 45 indicate he's yet to establish himself at this level, but his aerial prowess could prove valuable in set-piece situations should injury or suspension open opportunities.
