By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Niehues 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 CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are strength (84) and stamina (72). Their strength is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 2,4 M€, with 15 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. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 69 with a ceiling of 75 — that's +6 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is J. Niehues's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can J. Niehues's rating go?
Their potential is 75. They start from 69, so they can rise +6 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 2,4 M€, with 15 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 67 — weak for their position.
