How do you play Fran Villalba?
Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Play them between the lines with freedom to receive and thread the final ball; they turn possession into chances. They can also play RM and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Half-winger and Wide playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their best assets are agility (87) and vision (77). That elite agility is their signature.
What are they missing?
Where they struggle: long shots (58). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 2,3 M€, with 10 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. 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?
