By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
What role should X. Shaqiri have?
Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Play them between the lines with freedom to receive and thread the final ball; they turn possession into chances. They can also play RW and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile. Technically, with 5★ skill moves, they have the tools to dribble in tight spaces and they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is curve (87), ball control (83) and vision (82). Their curve is outstanding and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 10,6 M€ with 33 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
