How to get the best out of H. Ekdal in Career Mode
H. Ekdal is a defender at Burnley (72 overall, CB) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 26 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should H. Ekdal have?
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 Stopper and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: strength (81) and jumping (74). Their strength is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: top speed (56). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 3,1 M€ with 41 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
