J. Donley is an attacking midfielder at Stoke City (67 overall, CAM) — poor at that. They're 20 with a ceiling of 81: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Their value is creation: give them a free role behind the striker to link and assist. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is agility (71) and vision (69). Their agility is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: curve (60) and long shots (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 3 M€ with 28 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 81 — that's +14 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CAM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 81. They start from 67, so they can rise +14 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 3 M€, with 28 K€ wages.
Their vision is 69 — run-of-the-mill for their position.
