By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play Darren Oldaker?
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 and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Centre-half and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: stamina (73) and short passing (64). That decent stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: marking (54) and slide tackling (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 443 K€, with 1 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 (2027), 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 61 with a ceiling of 64 — 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 Darren Oldaker's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CB.
How high can Darren Oldaker's rating go?
Their potential is 64. They start from 61, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 443 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 58 — poor for their position.
