How to get the best out of W. Smallbone in Career Mode
W. Smallbone is a central midfielder at Southampton (72 overall, CM) — unremarkable at that. In full maturity (25); sign them to win now, not for the future.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should W. Smallbone have?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CAM and CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Their best assets are stamina (78) and short passing (75). That reliable stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 3,8 M€, with 42 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. 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.
How much will they grow?
They start from 72 with a ceiling of 76 — 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.
What is W. Smallbone's best position?
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CAM and CDM.
How high can W. Smallbone's rating go?

Are they reliable on the ball?
Their short passing is 75 — competent for their position.
