How do you play James Forrest?
Their place is out wide as RW. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Inside forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: agility (79) and top speed (78). That competent agility is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 1,8 M€ with 46 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. 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.
What is James Forrest's best position?
Their best position is RW, though they can also play RM.
How high can James Forrest's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (72): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,8 M€, with 46 K€ wages.
Are they good at dribbling?
