How to get the best out of Karim Benzema in Career Mode
Karim Benzema is a target man at Al Ittihad, rated 85 overall in FC 26, ST. By the standards of the role, that's elite. At 37 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. Their big weapon: off-the-ball movement (88).
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Karim Benzema have?
Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. They can also play CAM. The game also rewards them with their PlayStyle+ in Low Driven Shot and roles like False 9 and Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, their 4★ skill moves give them options in one-on-ones and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: off-the-ball movement (88), volleys (87) and finishing (86). That outstanding off-the-ball movement is their signature. And their PlayStyle+ (Low Driven Shot) push that ceiling even higher.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 21,8 M€ with 76 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
What is Karim Benzema's best position?
Their best position is ST, though they can also play CAM.
