M. Grüger is a defensive midfielder at FC Schalke 04 (65 overall, CDM) — a bit short at that. They're 20 with a ceiling of 75: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
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 Wide half and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: aggression (72) and short passing (68). Their aggression is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: slide tackling (60) and reading of the game (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 1,8 M€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 75 — that's +10 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 75. They start from 65, so they can rise +10 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 1,8 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 62 — a bit short for their position.
