The six face stats at a glance.
John McGovern is a striker at Shamrock Rovers, rated 57 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 66, ST. That's a bit short for their position. At 22 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 66): the sweet spot between output and projection.

Their place is up front as ST. Not one for running the channels: use them as a penalty-box reference to pin centre-backs, hold up play and finish inside. They can also play LW and RW. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: top speed (67) and acceleration (65). That a bit short top speed is their signature.
Their soft spots: dribbling (50) and volleys (50). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 443 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 (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +9 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 ST, though they can also play LW and RW.
