By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should M. Thiaw have?
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 Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).

No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
