By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of Sam Nicholson?
Their place is out wide as RM. They work by stretching the pitch and attacking the full-back one-on-one; the more isolated with their marker, the better. They can also play LM and RW. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: acceleration (85), agility (85) and top speed (81). Their acceleration is top-tier and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their weak points: curve (52) and crossing (56). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
