Joseph O'Brien-Whitmarsh is a number 10 at Southampton, rated 57 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 74, CAM. By the standards of the role, that's a bit short. They're 20 with a ceiling of 74: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.

Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Play them between the lines with freedom to receive and thread the final ball; they turn possession into chances. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker and Shadow striker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Their best assets are agility (64) and vision (61). Their agility is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: long shots (43) and curve (49). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 502 K€, with 7 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. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +17 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CAM, though they can also play CM.
