Matthew Craig is a holding midfielder at Barnsley, rated 63 overall in FC 25 with a potential of 76, CDM. That's weak for their position. At 21 with 13 points of headroom up to 76, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024

How do you play Matthew Craig?

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Centre-half and Holding, which reinforce that profile.

What do they do well?

Their weapons: aggression (72) and stamina (66). That decent aggression is their signature.

What are they missing?

Their weak points: reading of the game (60) and marking (61). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.

Are they worth the price?

Their market price sits around 1,2 M€, with 35 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. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.

How much will they grow?

They start from 63 with a ceiling of 76 — that's +13 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.

What is Matthew Craig's best position?

Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.

How high can Matthew Craig's rating go?

Their potential is 76. They start from 63, so they can rise +13 with minutes and development.

Are they expensive to sign?

Their market value is around 1,2 M€, with 35 K€ wages.

Do they win the ball back well?

Their reading of the game is 60 — a bit short for their position.
