By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Michael Kostka have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as RB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: acceleration (82) and top speed (79). That more than solid acceleration is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
