How do you play Daniel Popa?
Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: shot power (72) and top speed (72). That decent shot power is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: volleys (54) and dribbling (60). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1 M€ with 8 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
