How do you play J. Smith?
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, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their best assets are strength (73) and stamina (68). Their strength is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: slide tackling (61). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 1,8 M€, with 6 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +11 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. Smith's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can J. Smith's rating go?
Their potential is 76. They start from 65, so they can rise +11 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,8 M€, with 6 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 63 — weak for their position.
