How to get the best out of Zeca in Career Mode
Zeca is a defensive midfielder at Panathinaikos FC (70 overall, CDM) — unremarkable at that. At 35 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
How do you get the best out of Zeca?
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 Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is short passing (73) and reading of the game (72). Their short passing is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: strength (57) and stamina (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 486 K€ with 13 K€ 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 Zeca's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Zeca's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (70): at their age the rating won't rise.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 486 K€, with 13 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 72 — decent for their position.
