Live direct slug check

All 10 direct candidate URLs returned 404 at https://www.u7buy.com/blog/<slug>/, so none was moved to done as an already-published direct duplicate.

Fixes applied

• Rewrote short or truncated meta_title fields to 45-60 character SEO titles with player-specific role, route, or value angles.
• Rewrote short meta_description fields to 120-160 characters with concrete versions, roles, live-gap checks, premium-cost checks, or skip timing.
• Replaced template first H2s ending in Card Versions Compared with player-specific buyer-decision questions.
• Softened safest into most conservative so match-testing advice does not imply a safety guarantee.
• Replaced repeated defensive/fullback alternative links with position-relevant published U7BUY guides for CAM/Icon attackers, fullbacks, center-backs, and defensive-spine comparisons for goalkeeper pages.

Verification

• Batch manual audit found no duplicate body URLs, no independent Methodology H2, no template first H2, no truncated meta titles, no links to unpublished FC26 holding drafts, and no high-risk commercial promise terms.
• scripts/lint_article.py returned 0 errors and 0 warnings for all 10 files after edits.
