How to get the best out of Cristian Zabala in Career Mode

Cristian Zabala is a defensive midfielder at Independiente del Valle, rated 66 overall in FC 25 with a potential of 69, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's a bit short. In full maturity (26); sign them to win now, not for the future.

By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024

How do you play Cristian Zabala?

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 Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile.

What do they do well?

Their weapons: strength (74) and short passing (71). That run-of-the-mill strength is their signature.

What are they missing?

Their weak points: marking (55) and slide tackling (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.

Are they worth the price?

Their market price sits around 1,1 M€, with 16 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. They're also out of contract soon (2024), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.

How much will they grow?

They start from 66 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +3 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.

What is Cristian Zabala's best position?

Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.

How high can Cristian Zabala's rating go?

Their potential is 69. They start from 66, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.

Are they expensive to sign?

Their market value is around 1,1 M€, with 16 K€ wages.

Do they win the ball back well?

Their reading of the game is 61 — a bit short for their position.
