K. Payne is a central midfielder at Oldham Athletic (56 overall, CM) — a bit short at that. They're 20 with a ceiling of 67: with minutes, in two or three seasons they're a different player.
By FAFIFA Team · updated September 2025
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. The game also rewards them with roles like Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is short passing (58) and ball control (58). That poor short passing is their signature.
It's not all good: stamina (52) and reading of the game (52). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 354 K€ with 1 K€ wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 67 — that's +11 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CM.
Their potential is 67. They start from 56, so they can rise +11 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 354 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 58 — a bit short for their position.
