By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should R. Smekens 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. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: ball control (62) and stamina (62). That poor ball control is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: composure (44) and reading of the game (55). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 413 K€, 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. 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 much will they grow?
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 70 — that's +14 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is R. Smekens's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM.
How high can R. Smekens's rating go?
Their potential is 70. They start from 56, so they can rise +14 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 413 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 58 — a bit short for their position.
