How to get the best out of I. Diaby in Career Mode
I. Diaby is a holding midfielder at Cercle Brugge KSV (51 overall, CDM) — very poor at that. At 18 they're aiming at 66. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of I. Diaby?
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?
Where they really hurt you is strength (75) and short passing (56). That competent strength is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: marking (39) and tackling (45). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 153 K€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How far can they go?
They start from 51 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +15 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is I. Diaby's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can I. Diaby's rating go?
Their potential is 66. They start from 51, so they can rise +15 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 153 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 48 — very poor for their position.
