By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you get the best out of Fabián Balbuena?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Stopper and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: strength (82), jumping (81) and aerial ability (78). That more than solid strength is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: top speed (50). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Comes in free: no transfer fee, you only take on their — wages. At zero cost, the risk is minimal. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract.
How far can they go?
They start from 74 with a ceiling of 80 — that's +6 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
What is Fabián Balbuena's best position?

How high can Fabián Balbuena's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 75 — good for their position.
