How to get the best out of Fábio Cardoso in Career Mode
Fábio Cardoso is a centre-back at Al Ain (75 overall, CB) — competent at that. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases. Their big weapon: jumping (84).
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
How do you get the best out of Fábio Cardoso?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: jumping (84) and strength (82). Their jumping is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: top speed (53). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 5 M€ with 28 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 Fábio Cardoso's best position?
