First appearance in the data
Simon Janssen is a wing-back at Excelsior, rated 64 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 68, LB. By the standards of the role, that's a bit short. At 25 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play CDM and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Falseback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (72) and top speed (67). That run-of-the-mill acceleration is their signature.
It's not all good: reading of the game (57) and marking (57). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 855 K€ with 5 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 64 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +4 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is LB, though they can also play CDM and CM.
Their potential is 68. They start from 64, so they can rise +4 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 855 K€, with 5 K€ wages.
Their top speed is 67 — poor for their position.
