By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. McKiernan have?
Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Their value is creation: give them a free role behind the striker to link and assist. They can also play CM and ST. The game also rewards them with roles like Shadow striker and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are agility (77) and short passing (62). Their agility is reliable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: curve (57) and long shots (58). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 944 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 62 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +7 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.

Do they pass well?
Their vision is 61 — poor for their position.
