How to get the best out of David McGoldrick in Career Mode

By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of David McGoldrick?
Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. They can also play CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like False 9 and Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: composure (71) and shot power (69). Their composure is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: acceleration (54) and top speed (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 283 K€ with 1 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is David McGoldrick's best position?
Their best position is ST, though they can also play CAM.
How high can David McGoldrick's rating go?
