By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Eric Martel have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (86), reading of the game (78) and strength (78). That outstanding stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 12,4 M€ with 24 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. 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.
How far can they go?
They start from 76 with a ceiling of 81 — that's +5 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.
