How to get the best out of João Costa in Career Mode
João Costa is a striker at Santa Clara (67 overall, ST) — weak at that. In full maturity (25); sign them to win now, not for the future.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of João Costa?
Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What are their strengths?
Their best assets are finishing (71) and acceleration (71). Their finishing is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: volleys (57) and dribbling (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 1,7 M€, with 6 K€ in wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 71 — that's +4 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
