I. Kaliuzhnyi is a ball-winner (70 overall, CDM) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 27 it's immediate output: what you see is what you get, no waiting.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
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, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are strength (81) and stamina (77). That very good strength is their signature.
Where they struggle: marking (61). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
A free agent, so no transfer fee (— wages): one of the most cost-effective signings around. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now.
They start from 70 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 73. They start from 70, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Their reading of the game is 73 — decent for their position.
