How do you get the best out of James Connolly?
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 Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Their weapons: strength (75) and jumping (72). That good strength is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: composure (56), marking (60) and top speed (55). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 594 K€, with 8 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. They're also out of contract soon (2026), 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 62 with a ceiling of 67 — that's +5 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
