By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play J. Kongolo?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: strength (75) and jumping (75). That reliable strength is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: composure (50) and reading of the game (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 1,2 M€, with 5 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. 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 much will they grow?
They start from 62 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +17 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
