Gustavo Mancha is a centre-back at Rio Ave FC, rated 67 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 79, CB. That's a bit short for their position. They're 21 with a ceiling of 79: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.

Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Ball-playing defender and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is aerial ability (72) and strength (71). Their aerial ability is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: composure (62) and top speed (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 2,7 M€ with 9 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +12 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CB.
Their potential is 79. They start from 67, so they can rise +12 with minutes and development.
