How to get the best out of Rafa Soares in Career Mode
Rafa Soares is a wing-back at Famalicão (70 overall, LB) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of Rafa Soares?
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 Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: acceleration (75) and top speed (74). Their acceleration is reliable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,7 M€ with 9 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.
