The six face stats at a glance.
Nicolas Pays is a number 10 at Montpellier HSC, rated 64 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 75, CAM. That's a bit short for their position. At 21 with 11 points of headroom up to 75, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign. Their big weapon: agility (82).

Their place is in the hole, between the lines as CAM. Play them between the lines with freedom to receive and thread the final ball; they turn possession into chances. They can also play RM and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Where they really hurt you is agility (82) and curve (70). Their agility is notable and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: long shots (53). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 1,5 M€ with 2 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 64 with a ceiling of 75 — that's +11 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CAM, though they can also play RM and CM.
Their potential is 75. They start from 64, so they can rise +11 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 1,5 M€, with 2 K€ wages.
