How to get the best out of Virgil van Dijk in Career Mode
Virgil van Dijk is a centre-back comfortable in possession at Liverpool, rated 90 overall in FC 26, CB. By the standards of the role, that's phenomenal. At 33 they're in the final stretch; use them for what they still give, not for what they were. What sets them apart is their strength of 93.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play Virgil van Dijk?
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 their PlayStyle+ in Intercept and roles like Ball-playing defender and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Where they really hurt you is strength (93), marking (91) and tackling (91). That era-defining strength is their signature. And their PlayStyle+ (Intercept) push that ceiling even higher.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 67,3 M€ with 271 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. 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.
