By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Kieran Cruise have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their best assets are top speed (67) and acceleration (66). Their top speed is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: marking (45) and slide tackling (51). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 325 K€, with 1 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 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 55 with a ceiling of 63 — that's +8 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.
