How to get the best out of J. Ward in Career Mode
J. Ward is a full-back at Crystal Palace (73 overall, RB) — decent at that. At 34 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
How do you play J. Ward?
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 CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: marking (78) and reading of the game (77). That good marking is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: acceleration (50) and top speed (52). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,2 M€ with 58 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
What is J. Ward's best position?
Their best position is RB, though they can also play CB.
How high can J. Ward's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (73): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,2 M€, with 58 K€ wages.
Can they handle the flank up and down?
Their top speed is 52 — very poor for their position.
