How to get the best out of John Stones in Career Mode
John Stones is a centre-back comfortable in possession at Manchester City, rated 85 overall in FC 25, CB. By the standards of the role, that's outstanding. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases. Their big weapon: composure (88).
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should John Stones have?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. They can also play CDM and RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender and Defender, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: composure (88), marking (86) and tackling (86). Their composure is elite and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?

Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
