By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Jakob Engel have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (61) and short passing (60). That weak stamina is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: aggression (42) and marking (53). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 384 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 56 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +13 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 Jakob Engel's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Jakob Engel's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 384 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 54 — very poor for their position.
