How to get the best out of A. Menelaou in Career Mode
A. Menelaou is a ball-winner at Melbourne Victory (48 overall, CDM) — very poor at that. They're 20 with a ceiling of 60: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should A. Menelaou have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: aggression (56) and short passing (53). Their aggression is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: reading of the game (41) and marking (41). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 119 K€ with 3 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 48 with a ceiling of 60 — that's +12 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
