This just in, FM isn’t real. Fun, but not real.
Carvalho is fine in the air and isn’t that slow. He can push up the field just fine. He’d work great with Gana as twin DCMs in Silva’s 4-2-3-1.
Except Silva has said he will play 4-3-3 with the number 6 role key - like Huddlestone when he was at Hull and Doucoure at Watford. He mentioned Schneiderlin as the only one we have, so either knows he is going or wants Carvalho as an upgrade/competition. I guess Gana could play one side of him in the 3 with a bit more license to press higher up the pitch, perhaps with Davies the other. A bit worried about a lack of creativity though.
