By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Matthew Baker 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 Stopper and Wide back, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are strength (72) and jumping (72). Their strength is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: composure (49) and reading of the game (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 885 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 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 62 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +7 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.
