How do you get the best out of M. Kiernan?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. They can also play LB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: strength (66) and jumping (61). That a bit short strength is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Their soft spots: composure (47) and slide tackling (48). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 271 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. 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.
How far can they go?
They start from 54 with a ceiling of 67 — that's +13 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.
What is M. Kiernan's best position?

How high can M. Kiernan's rating go?

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 50 — almost non-existent for their position.
