Hermann Esmel is a holding midfielder at Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC, rated 61 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 64, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 26 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one.

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 CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: strength (74) and stamina (68). That unremarkable strength is their signature.
Their soft spots: marking (52) and reading of the game (58). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 428 K€ with 1 K€ wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one.
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 64 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CB and CM.
Their potential is 64. They start from 61, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 428 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 58 — a bit short for their position.
