By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play S. Lainer?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as RB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback and Wide playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: acceleration (74) and tackling (73). That unremarkable acceleration is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 1,5 M€, with 15 K€ in wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.

Their best position is RB, though they can also play RM.
How high can S. Lainer's rating go?
They're already at their ceiling (71): at their age the rating won't rise.

Can they handle the flank up and down?
Their top speed is 66 — a bit short for their position.
