The six face stats at a glance.
Adam Wharton is a pivot who starts the play at Crystal Palace, rated 79 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 86, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's competent. At 21 they still have 7 points to grow up to 86, so they add to the XI and gain value. Above all they stand out for their short passing (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. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
Where they really hurt you is short passing (83) and tackling (78). Their short passing is notable and it's the trait to build their game around.
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Worth around 39,5 M€ with 68 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
They start from 79 with a ceiling of 86 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
