Ballity Verdict
What makes this player special?
Tomáš Suslov covers both boxes. He is not a specialist who only protects or only arrives late — he is the midfielder who can win it, carry it, and still show up in the final third. That two-way presence is what makes him hard to replace in Hellas Verona's structure.
Beyond the headline job, Suslov remains plausible as carrier. The secondary roles matter for how a coach can reorganise without changing the XI entirely.
On the pitch he has actually been used as CM (#8) / DM (#6). That matters: skill-set breadth is one thing; demonstrated deployment is another. Suslov's authenticity claim starts from those minutes, not from a role board alone.
The trade-off is real: physicality shows up as a structural caveat in the profile. Any club buying the upside has to decide whether that hole is tolerable in their system — or whether they will need complementary players beside him.
Why Ballity says this
- Midfield / role totality: duel destroyer, carrier
- Shown minutes: CM (#8) / DM (#6)
- Known caveat: physicality
