The six face stats at a glance.
Juraj Badelj is a central defender at Universitatea Craiova, rated 65 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 72, CB. By the standards of the role, that's a bit short. At 21 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 72): the sweet spot between output and projection.

Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender and Ball-playing defender, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are jumping (80) and strength (78). That more than solid jumping is their signature.
Where they struggle: composure (52) and slide tackling (60). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 1,5 M€, with 1 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2027), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
