E. Lira is a ball-winner (73 overall, CDM) — decent at that. In full maturity (25); sign them to win now, not for the future.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
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, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is stamina (81), tackling (80) and short passing (79). Their stamina is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: marking (61) and reading of the game (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Comes in free: no transfer fee, you only take on their — wages. At zero cost, the risk is minimal. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now.
They start from 73 with a ceiling of 80 — that's +7 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.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CB.
Their potential is 80. They start from 73, so they can rise +7 with minutes and development.
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Their reading of the game is 62 — weak for their position.
