By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Hélio Varela have?
Their place is out wide as LM. They work by stretching the pitch and attacking the full-back one-on-one; the more isolated with their marker, the better. They can also play ST and LW. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Wide playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
Their weapons: top speed (86), acceleration (82) and agility (80). That elite top speed is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: crossing (61) and curve (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 2,4 M€, with 7 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How much will they grow?
