Sam de Grand is a wing-back at AZ Alkmaar, rated 65 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 74, LB. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 21 they're aiming at 74. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
What role should Sam de Grand have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. They suit a system that lets them get forward: they add width in attack and need cover in case they're caught out behind. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (79) and top speed (75). That reliable stamina is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: reading of the game (57) and marking (59). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Worth around 1,7 M€ with 5 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How far can they go?
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +9 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

Can they handle the flank up and down?
