How do you get the best out of J. Garner?
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 Wide half and Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: short passing (80) and stamina (75). That notable short passing is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 12,4 M€, with 37 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. 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 76 with a ceiling of 81 — 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.
What is J. Garner's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can J. Garner's rating go?
Their potential is 81. They start from 76, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 12,4 M€, with 37 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 72 — run-of-the-mill for their position.
