By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you play Matthew dos Santos?
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 CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Inverted wingback and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: stamina (82) and top speed (77). That notable stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: slide tackling (51) and reading of the game (56). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 1,3 M€, 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. 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 much will they grow?
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 77 — that's +14 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
