Adam Carlén is a holding midfielder at Excelsior, rated 65 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 72, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 25 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one. What sets them apart is their strength of 83.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: strength (83) and stamina (80). That more than solid strength is their signature.
Their soft spots: slide tackling (52) and tackling (57). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 1,5 M€ with 5 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. 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.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +7 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.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM and CB.
Their potential is 72. They start from 65, so they can rise +7 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 1,5 M€, with 5 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 63 — poor for their position.
