The six face stats at a glance.
José Castro is a wing-back at Universidad de Chile, rated 62 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 71, LB. That's poor for their position. At 23 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 71): the sweet spot between output and projection.

Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. They can also play LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: top speed (74) and acceleration (71). That run-of-the-mill top speed is their signature.
Their soft spots: reading of the game (56) and marking (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 1 M€ with 6 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 62 with a ceiling of 71 — 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 LB, though they can also play LM.
