By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Olaetxea have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their best assets are stamina (80) and short passing (72). Their stamina is very good and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 1,8 M€, with 11 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
