How to get the best out of Paulinho in Career Mode
Paulinho is a target man at Toluca, rated 79 overall in FC 27, ST. By the standards of the role, that's competent. At 33 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. Above all they stand out for their off-the-ball movement (84).
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you play Paulinho?
Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. They can also play LW. The game also rewards them with roles like Poacher and Target forward, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: off-the-ball movement (84), finishing (83) and aerial ability (82). That very good off-the-ball movement is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 12,5 M€, with 35 K€ in wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
What is Paulinho's best position?
Their best position is ST, though they can also play LW.
How high can Paulinho's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (79): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 12,5 M€, with 35 K€ wages.
Do they finish well?
Their finishing is 83 — notable for their position.
