By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play D. Ayala?
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 Deep-Lying playmaker and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: short passing (74) and stamina (73). That decent short passing is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: strength (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 2,5 M€ with 5 K€ 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 far can they go?
They start from 69 with a ceiling of 75 — 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 D. Ayala's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can D. Ayala's rating go?
Their potential is 75. They start from 69, so they can rise +6 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 2,5 M€, with 5 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 70 — decent for their position.
