Jacob Arroyave is a central midfielder at New York City FC, rated 53 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 73, CM. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 18 they're aiming at 73. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box and Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is short passing (58) and ball control (58). Their short passing is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: composure (44) and vision (49). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 285 K€ with 1 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 53 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +20 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 CM, though they can also play CDM.
Their potential is 73. They start from 53, so they can rise +20 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 285 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 58 — poor for their position.
