Emiliano Castañeda is a forward at Cruz Azul, rated 59 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 74, ST. By the standards of the role, that's weak. They're 17 with a ceiling of 74: 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.
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (72) and top speed (70). Their acceleration is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: volleys (42) and off-the-ball movement (51). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 599 K€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 59 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +15 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 74. They start from 59, so they can rise +15 with minutes and development.
