How to get the best out of I. Gruev in Career Mode
I. Gruev is a ball-winner at Leeds United (74 overall, CDM) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 25 it's immediate output: what you see is what you get, no waiting.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of I. Gruev?
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 Deep-Lying playmaker and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: stamina (78) and short passing (77). That reliable stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 5,9 M€, with 48 K€ in wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How much will they grow?
They start from 74 with a ceiling of 77 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is I. Gruev's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can I. Gruev's rating go?
Their potential is 77. They start from 74, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 5,9 M€, with 48 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 71 — unremarkable for their position.
