How do you play João Cancelo?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as RB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play LB and RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (88), acceleration (88) and crossing (86). Their stamina is elite and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?

Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 36 M€ with 80 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
