By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you get the best out of Slade Starnes?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: strength (82) and jumping (67). That more than solid strength is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: composure (42), aerial ability (45) and top speed (59). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 171 K€ with 1 K€ 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 (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 52 with a ceiling of 59 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
