How do you play João Cesco?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (68) and tackling (65). That unremarkable strength is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: composure (42), aerial ability (55) and top speed (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 531 K€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +5 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is João Cesco's best position?
Their best position is CB.
How high can João Cesco's rating go?
Their potential is 66. They start from 61, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 531 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 64 — weak for their position.
