By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Merlo have?
Their place is out wide as LW. They work by stretching the pitch and attacking the full-back one-on-one; the more isolated with their marker, the better. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What are you buying?
Their best assets are acceleration (78) and agility (76). Their acceleration is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: crossing (49) and finishing (53). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
