Gargano was a highly technical DMF, delivering consistent performances for his NT and for Napoli, becoming a legend for the team.

I believe Simcav's set is ok, I just did some tweaking with the stats after I watched some games from the period. The main changes I made: lowered a bit of his STA and BAL (although he was a sturdy little guy, I doubt that he'd be worthy of 83+ BAL), switched his PAs with PSs (His passing was more about accuracy than speed, he didn't go that often for lofted balls or through passes, but they were nice too), downgraded his ST/SA (he scored a few crackers, but he did not shoot often). Also, I chose to give him only "Enforcer" for the same reason I talked about in my Egidio Arévalo Ríos post, he wasn't just sitting deep to give extra D-Line coverage, he was more dynamic and technical than a "backbone" DMF.
