By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play J. Drinkwater?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (68) and reading of the game (62). Their stamina is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: short passing (56) and ball control (56). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 165 K€ with 1 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
