Olwethu Makhanya is a centre-back at Philadelphia Union, rated 50 overall in FC 25 with a potential of 66, CB. That's very poor for their position. At 20 with 16 points of headroom up to 66, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2024
How do you play Olwethu Makhanya?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is tackling (58) and slide tackling (57). That poor tackling is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: composure (43) and reading of the game (48). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 130 K€ with 3 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 (2026), 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 50 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +16 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
What is Olwethu Makhanya's best position?
Their best position is CB.
How high can Olwethu Makhanya's rating go?
Their potential is 66. They start from 50, so they can rise +16 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 130 K€, with 3 K€ wages.
Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 51 — a liability for their position.
