Essam Bahri is a wing-back at Al Riyadh, rated 54 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 64, LB. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 21 they're aiming at 64. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: acceleration (64) and top speed (62). That poor acceleration is their signature.
Their soft spots: crossing (46) and tackling (52). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 262 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.
They start from 54 with a ceiling of 64 — that's +10 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 LB.
Their potential is 64. They start from 54, so they can rise +10 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 262 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their top speed is 62 — poor for their position.
