How to get the best out of J. Nikolaou in Career Mode
J. Nikolaou is a defensive midfielder at Eintracht Braunschweig (67 overall, CDM) — poor at that. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
How do you play J. Nikolaou?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Centre-half and Stopper, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: aggression (79) and strength (75). Their aggression is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: marking (61). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 918 K€ with 10 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is J. Nikolaou's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CB and CM.
How high can J. Nikolaou's rating go?

Do they win the ball back well?
