The six face stats at a glance.
Matthew Longstaff is a central midfielder at CF Montréal, rated 66 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 69, CM. By the standards of the role, that's a bit short. In full maturity (25); sign them to win now, not for the future.

Their place is in central midfield as CM. Put them in charge of the tempo; they shine passing and organising more than arriving in the box. They can also play CDM and CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Half-winger and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are ball control (74) and composure (71). That decent ball control is their signature.
Where they struggle: reading of the game (58) and stamina (59). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 1,3 M€, with 4 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
They start from 66 with a ceiling of 69 — that's +3 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is CM, though they can also play CDM and CAM.
Their potential is 69. They start from 66, so they can rise +3 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 1,3 M€, with 4 K€ wages.
Their short passing is 68 — run-of-the-mill for their position.
