C. Benavídez is a defensive midfielder at Deportivo Alavés (73 overall, CDM) — unremarkable at that. At 27 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
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. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: aggression (80) and tackling (74). Their aggression is notable and it's the trait to build their game around.
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Worth around 4,1 M€ with 25 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 73 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 76. They start from 73, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 4,1 M€, with 25 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 73 — decent for their position.
