By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
How do you play Zhang Linpeng?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. They can also play RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: strength (79) and jumping (73). Their strength is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: reading of the game (56), marking (59) and top speed (57). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 83 K€, with 5 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2025, you have leverage to bring the price down.
