By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Pape Diong 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. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (72) and short passing (69). That decent strength is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: marking (56) and slide tackling (59). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 1,9 M€ with 11 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 65 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +14 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 Pape Diong's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can Pape Diong's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,9 M€, with 11 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 62 — weak for their position.
