By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
What role should Joél Drakes-Thomas have?
Their place is out wide as LW. They work by stretching the pitch and attacking the full-back one-on-one; the more isolated with their marker, the better. They can also play CAM, RW and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What are you buying?
Their best assets are acceleration (74) and top speed (70). That run-of-the-mill acceleration is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: finishing (55) and ball control (62). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 1,3 M€, with 10 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How much will they grow?
They start from 62 with a ceiling of 82 — that's +20 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
