By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should João Gamboa have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Wide half, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (79) and stamina (73). Their strength is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 7 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is João Gamboa's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can João Gamboa's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (68): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,3 M€, with 7 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 64 — a bit short for their position.
