Kalidou Koulibaly is a dominant centre-back at Al Hilal, rated 82 overall in FC 26, CB. By the standards of the role, that's more than solid. At 34 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. Their big weapon: strength (89).

How do you play Kalidou Koulibaly?
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 Ball-playing defender and Wide back, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (89), jumping (87) and tackling (83). Their strength is top-tier and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 11,8 M€ with 66 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
