How to get the best out of João Paulo in Career Mode
João Paulo is a holding midfielder at Seattle Sounders FC (70 overall, CDM) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 34 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should João Paulo have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (73) and marking (71). Their strength is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 649 K€ with 7 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 João Paulo's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can João Paulo's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (70): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 649 K€, with 7 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 68 — unremarkable for their position.
