Kento Nishiya is a holding midfielder at Pohang Steelers, rated 63 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 64, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 26 they're at their peak and deliver from matchday one.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
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, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: stamina (79) and aggression (68). Their stamina is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: marking (57) and strength (58). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 570 K€ with 3 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 64. They start from 63, so they can rise +1 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 570 K€, with 3 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 62 — a bit short for their position.
