José Caicedo is a defensive midfielder at Portland Timbers, rated 67 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 76, CDM. That's poor for their position. At 24 they still have 9 points to grow up to 76, so they add to the XI and gain value.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Centre-half, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are strength (78) and stamina (75). Their strength is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: short passing (61). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 2,4 M€, with 3 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 76 — 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 CDM, though they can also play CB and CM.
