By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should J. Olayinka have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM and CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Their weapons: short passing (62) and ball control (62). That a bit short short passing is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their weak points: long passing (54) and reading of the game (56). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.

Their market price sits around 354 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. 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.
