By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Nikolas Tsakiris 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 CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Wide half and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are short passing (66) and reading of the game (64). Their short passing is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: stamina (40) and aggression (55). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 1,4 M€, with 2 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 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +16 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is Nikolas Tsakiris's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CAM.
How high can Nikolas Tsakiris's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,4 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 64 — weak for their position.
