By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you get the best out of S. Esquivel?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: short passing (69) and reading of the game (62). Their short passing is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: aggression (56) and strength (58). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,4 M€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How far can they go?
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +10 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 S. Esquivel's best position?
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
How high can S. Esquivel's rating go?
Their potential is 74. They start from 64, so they can rise +10 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 1,4 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 62 — a bit short for their position.
