By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2025
How do you get the best out of J. Matete?
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 CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (75) and short passing (65). Their stamina is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: long passing (61). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1 M€ with 14 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.
How far can they go?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +5 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is J. Matete's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
How high can J. Matete's rating go?
Their potential is 69. They start from 64, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1 M€, with 14 K€ wages.
Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 65 — weak for their position.
