How to get the best out of M. Smith in Career Mode
M. Smith is a defensive midfielder at Wigan Athletic (64 overall, CDM) — poor at that. At 24 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 70): the sweet spot between output and projection.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should M. Smith have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Centre-half and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (71) and short passing (66). That unremarkable stamina is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: strength (54) and aggression (59). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1 M€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +6 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.
What is M. Smith's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CB.
How high can M. Smith's rating go?
Their potential is 70. They start from 64, so they can rise +6 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1 M€, with 1 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 60 — poor for their position.
