By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should J. Shelvey have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their best assets are aggression (83) and short passing (81). Their aggression is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: stamina (58) and marking (62). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 3 M€, with 21 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
What is J. Shelvey's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can J. Shelvey's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (74): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 3 M€, with 21 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 65 — a bit short for their position.
