If you are a big fan of the FIFA 23 career mode, he might be one of the players you might consider for your team. This is because of his youth and potential. The defensive midfielder is also relatively inexpensive to acquire as he is valued at about 40 million euros on the game’s transfer market.

This means that he rarely gets tired and can play the full 90 minutes consistently.
He is also a very good tackler, which is an attribute every top-level defensive midfielder must possess. Locatelli has a standing tackle rating of 82 and a sliding tackle rating of 75. In front of goal, he might not be one of the best in this department, but he is good enough to score a few goals, especially from long range. That is why he has an 80 rating on long shots.
Locatelli’s defensive work rate is high, while he has a medium attacking work rate. The right-footed player has a four-star rating on his weak foot and a three-star rating on skill moves. His height also makes him a real threat in the box during set-pieces situations. He is an overall good playmaker making him an excellent option for your team, whether as a starter or coming off the bench.
