The six face stats at a glance.
Finn McKenlay is a holding midfielder at Auckland FC, rated 52 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 67, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 19 they're aiming at 67. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

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 CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: aggression (59) and short passing (55). Their aggression is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: marking (45) and tackling (46). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 212 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 52 with a ceiling of 67 — 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 CDM, though they can also play CM.
