First appearance in the data
Mathew Baker is a full-back at Melbourne City FC, rated 53 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 73, LB. That's very poor for their position. At 17 they're aiming at 73. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback and Falseback, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: acceleration (69) and top speed (60). Their acceleration is run-of-the-mill and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: crossing (43) and marking (45). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 274 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 start from 53 with a ceiling of 73 — that's +20 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 LB, though they can also play CDM.
Their potential is 73. They start from 53, so they can rise +20 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 274 K€, with 1 K€ wages.
Their top speed is 60 — poor for their position.
