Fafa Picault style of play
Fafa Picault is an extremely versatile attacker who is able to play anywhere in the final third – something that will be a massive boost to Javier Mascherano’s squad.
The 33-year-olds strengths lie with the ball at his feet, with his tricky dribbling being a key asset to his game.
Despite being very creative in the final third, Picault does not neglect his defensive duties – working very hard-working across the pitch.
