How do you play Francisco Júnior?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are aggression (83) and stamina (80). Their aggression is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: strength (53) and slide tackling (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 351 K€, with 8 K€ in 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.
