João Paulo is a central midfielder at Oțelul Galați (64 overall, CM) — weak at that. In full maturity (27); sign them to win now, not for the future.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should João Paulo have?
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 LB and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Their weapons: ball control (67) and short passing (66). Their ball control is a bit short and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their weak points: composure (50) and vision (60). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 797 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is João Paulo's best position?

Are they reliable on the ball?
