By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should Sam de Laat have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: short passing (65) and long passing (64). Their short passing is a bit short and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: reading of the game (39) and composure (56). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 620 K€, with 1 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. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 59 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +15 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.
