J. Roche is a central defender at Shelbourne FC (50 overall, CB) — a liability at that. At 17 with 16 points of headroom up to 66, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is strength (67) and tackling (54). That weak strength is their signature.
It's not all good: composure (44), reading of the game (48) and top speed (54). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 130 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 50 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +16 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 CB.
Their potential is 66. They start from 50, so they can rise +16 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 130 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their marking is 50 — a liability for their position.
