By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you play Ethan O'Brien?
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 Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: composure (67) and stamina (62). That a bit short composure is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: reading of the game (49) and ball control (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 262 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. 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 much will they grow?
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 61 — that's +4 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 Ethan O'Brien's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
How high can Ethan O'Brien's rating go?
Their potential is 61. They start from 57, so they can rise +4 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 262 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 61 — poor for their position.
