By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Villalba have?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: tackling (67) and jumping (66). That a bit short tackling is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: reading of the game (54) and composure (57). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 856 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2025), 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 61 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +15 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.
