By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you get the best out of José Espínola?
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 CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (75) and tackling (72). Their stamina is reliable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 1,6 M€ with 6 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +5 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is José Espínola's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CB.
How high can José Espínola's rating go?
Their potential is 72. They start from 67, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,6 M€, with 6 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 71 — decent for their position.
