By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of J. Austerfield?
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. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Wide half, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (72) and short passing (62). That decent stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: aggression (52) and marking (53). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 561 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 59 with a ceiling of 67 — that's +8 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
What is J. Austerfield's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can J. Austerfield's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 561 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 55 — a bit short for their position.
