Rio Shipston is a midfielder at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 56 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 66, CM. That's weak for their position. At 20 with 10 points of headroom up to 66, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: short passing (62) and long passing (62). Their short passing is weak and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their soft spots: composure (46) and vision (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 354 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 56 with a ceiling of 66 — that's +10 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 CM, though they can also play CDM.
