First appearance in the data
Alfonso Barco is a holding midfielder, rated 65 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 74, CDM. That's weak for their position. At 24 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 74): the sweet spot between output and projection.

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 CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are strength (76) and stamina (70). Their strength is reliable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: reading of the game (60) and aggression (61). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
A free agent, so no transfer fee (— wages): one of the most cost-effective signings around. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +9 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CB and CM.
Their potential is 74. They start from 65, so they can rise +9 with minutes and development.
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Their reading of the game is 60 — a bit short for their position.
