By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Gustavo Varela have?
Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is finishing (71) and dribbling (69). Their finishing is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: composure (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 3,2 M€ with 8 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 68 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +11 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
