By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
What role should Barnaby Williams have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (57) and reading of the game (56). Their strength is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: slide tackling (54) and tackling (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 456 K€ with 5 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +17 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.
What is Barnaby Williams's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Barnaby Williams's rating go?
Their potential is 74. They start from 57, so they can rise +17 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 456 K€, with 5 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 56 — a bit short for their position.
