How to get the best out of J. Brandes in Career Mode

By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Brandes have?
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 CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: short passing (68) and tackling (62). That unremarkable short passing is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: aggression (56) and slide tackling (56). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
How far can they go?
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +13 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. Brandes's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CB and CM.
How high can J. Brandes's rating go?
Their potential is 76. They start from 63, so they can rise +13 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,3 M€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 61 — weak for their position.
