Leo Castledine, The Defender Turned Midfielder
Castledine carries the ball through midfield with a composure that stands out in a player who spent his early years at the back, rarely rushing a decision even when a challenge is arriving quickly. That calmness lets Middlesbrough build possession through areas where panic usually forces a team into an aimless pass forward instead, giving the ball away cheaply.
The question worth watching is which role suits him best now that he has fully committed to an attacking midfield position rather than the defence he grew up playing in. A converted defender sometimes brings a positional discipline that a more traditional attacking midfielder never develops. That discipline could make him unusually reliable once possession is actually lost. Watch where his manager actually deploys him across a run of matches, since both positions still seem open to him.
