By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Buckley have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM and CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (75) and short passing (71). That competent stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
It's not all good: strength (61) and marking (62). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 2,1 M€ with 9 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now.
How far can they go?
They start from 69 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +4 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
What is J. Buckley's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CAM.
How high can J. Buckley's rating go?
Their potential is 73. They start from 69, so they can rise +4 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?

Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 68 — decent for their position.
