How to get the best out of B. Esselink in Career Mode
B. Esselink is a defender at Dundee United FC (63 overall, CB) — poor at that. At 25 it's immediate output: what you see is what you get, no waiting.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play B. Esselink?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (79) and jumping (74). Their strength is reliable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: composure (46), slide tackling (60) and top speed (59). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 738 K€ with 2 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +5 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

Do they defend the box well?
