José Melro is a striker at Marítimo, rated 61 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 71, ST. That's a bit short for their position. At 22 they still have 10 points to grow up to 71, so they add to the XI and gain value.

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 CAM and LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Where they really hurt you is acceleration (68) and shot power (64). Their acceleration is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: aerial ability (55) and volleys (57). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 855 K€ with 2 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 61 with a ceiling of 71 — that's +10 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 CAM and LM.
Their potential is 71. They start from 61, so they can rise +10 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 855 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
