How to get the best out of John Mercado in Career Mode
John Mercado is a pace-first wide player at AVS Futebol SAD, rated 70 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 79, LW. By the standards of the role, that's unremarkable. At 23 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 79): the sweet spot between output and projection. Their big weapon: acceleration (87).
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2025
What role should John Mercado have?
Their place is out wide as LW. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play LM and RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Inside forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (87), top speed (86) and agility (82). Their acceleration is elite and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: crossing (62). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 4,1 M€ with 6 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 70 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +9 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 John Mercado's best position?
