How to get the best out of M. Jacob in Career Mode

By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should M. Jacob have?
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 CB and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: acceleration (69) and stamina (68). Their acceleration is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: reading of the game (60) and marking (62). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 1,7 M€, with 9 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 65 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +7 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 M. Jacob's best position?
Their best position is LB, though they can also play CB and LM.
How high can M. Jacob's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,7 M€, with 9 K€ wages.
Can they handle the flank up and down?
Their top speed is 66 — a bit short for their position.
