By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2024
What role should Michael Craig 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 RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Falseback, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (72) and aggression (68). Their stamina is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: strength (57) and slide tackling (60). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 4 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +9 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.

Do they win the ball back well?
