FC 26 World Tour Chukwuemeka: An Underwhelming Trophy?

Time: 2025-09-25

Finally, a testable card has arrived. At first glance, Chukwuemeka's stats and PlayStyle+ traits look promising for his price range.

This review is based on testing within the popular 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation, focusing on his performance at Left Central Midfielder (LCM), Right Central Midfielder (RCM), and Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM).

Positional Breakdown: CAM Shines, CM Disappoints

Initial tests at LCM and RCM were underwhelming. His main issue was a lack of clear identity on the pitch. While his tall physique is present, his defensive contribution is minimal, relying mostly on his body type. Ball progression is decent – he can stride forward and maintain possession well. However, he often feels anonymous during matches, requiring deliberate effort to involve him in the build-up. Without actively seeking him out, he tends to disappear from the action.

Moving him to the CAM position unlocked significantly better performance. His presence was far more noticeable, leveraging his large frame to "body" through defenders effectively.

As a CAM, his combination of Incisive Pass+, Tiki Taka+, and Magnet is ideal. This skillset facilitates effective through balls, sharp short passes, and strong ball retention.

His offensive positioning and finishing are also serviceable, despite lacking dedicated shooting PlayStyles.

Verdict: A Jack of All Trades, Master of None

Chukwuemeka possesses all the basic qualities needed for a CAM, but excels in none. His dribbling feels average, ball control during surges is inconsistent, and he paled in direct comparison to top-tier midfielders like Frenkie de Jong (though the price difference is substantial).

For a budget-friendly CAM option, especially during the early game, he is certainly usable. However, he is not a card that will immediately impress you. Rather, he is one whose strengths you must consciously work to uncover. Ultimately, he falls into the category of a mediocre player who is neither exceptionally good nor outright bad.
