Marco Palestra is a wide player at Cagliari, rated 65 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 80, RM. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 20 they're aiming at 80. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is out wide as RM. They work by stretching the pitch and attacking the full-back one-on-one; the more isolated with their marker, the better. They can also play RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Wide midfielder and Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
Their weapons: ball control (68) and acceleration (67). Their ball control is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: curve (51) and agility (56). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 2 M€, with 13 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 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 80 — 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.
Their best position is RM, though they can also play RB.
