The six face stats at a glance.
João Cesco is a centre-back at CD Tondela, rated 61 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 66, CB. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 24 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 66): the sweet spot between output and projection.

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 Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is strength (68) and tackling (65). That unremarkable strength is their signature.
It's not all good: composure (42), aerial ability (55) and top speed (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 531 K€ with 2 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 (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +5 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. 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 61, so they can rise +5 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 531 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
