Cooper Flax is a central midfielder at New York City FC, rated 53 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 60, CM. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 22 they still have 7 points to grow up to 60, so they add to the XI and gain value.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CAM and CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is short passing (62) and long passing (61). Their short passing is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: reading of the game (20) and stamina (40). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 217 K€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 53 with a ceiling of 60 — 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.
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CAM and CDM.
Their potential is 60. They start from 53, so they can rise +7 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 217 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 62 — weak for their position.
