How to play Otamendi?

[KidSparxx]

Theres two threads on him but the dont really say how to play him, the people just say keep him. Ive got a great team around him but he always seems to go into half time with a 5.5 rating if ive conceded, sometimes even if i havent. I play him next to Subotic whos decent, hwo should i play them? I use a 424 but ive put my one of the cms as a dm.

Also does anyone know how to stop wingers getting in behind your defence?

Limited defender for Otamendi as he lacks the height.

Thanks cover, defend or stopper and does it matter whether he's on zonal or man marking?

I have serious problems with Otamendi in 10.3

I bought him straight away in the first season. he is now 24 in my fourth season

He makes way too many individual mistakes! In all my previous saves a he was rock, but in 10.3 not anymore!

I pair him with Danny Wilson (excellent header, perfect ball playing defender), or Turner or Shawcross. All are solid defenders and fantastic headers.

I tried everything with Otamendi (Limited defender works maybe the best, as he is unable to play the ball) and cover duty.

I guess all problems are due to his poor decision making. He might end up on the transfer list

Limited Defender-Defend seems to be the best way to play him
