First appearance in the data
Dean Boltz is a striker at Chicago Fire, rated 52 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 72, ST. By the standards of the role, that's very poor. They're 19 with a ceiling of 72: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.

Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: top speed (62) and acceleration (60). That poor top speed is their signature.
Their soft spots: volleys (39) and ball control (44). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 260 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. 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 52 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +20 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is ST.
Their potential is 72. They start from 52, so they can rise +20 with minutes and development.
