By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2025
How do you get the best out of James York?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: stamina (60) and short passing (57). That poor stamina is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: vision (47) and reading of the game (47). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 224 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. 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 far can they go?
They start from 52 with a ceiling of 67 — that's +15 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.
