By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should D. Leyva have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: short passing (69) and long passing (67). Their short passing is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: reading of the game (50) and vision (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 2 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 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +9 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
How high can D. Leyva's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?

Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 69 — decent for their position.
