First appearance in the data
Junior Thiam is a holding midfielder at Galway United, rated 49 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 64, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 19 they're aiming at 64. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
Their weapons: strength (58) and aggression (52). Their strength is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: reading of the game (42) and marking (42). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 125 K€, with 1 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 49 with a ceiling of 64 — that's +15 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.
