Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
At 36, Zwane travels as a tournament veteran — a creative substitute Broos can call on when the game needs unlocking. His Sundowns understanding with Williams, Mokoena and Mudau is invaluable.
Strengths
- Vision and final ball
- Set-piece taking
- Big-game experience
