First appearance in the data
Samu Rodríguez is a full-back at Real Oviedo, rated 65 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 75, LB. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 21 they're aiming at 75. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as LB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What makes them reliable: top speed (70) and tackling (69). That unremarkable top speed is their signature.
Their soft spots: reading of the game (59) and crossing (60). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Worth around 1,7 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 65 with a ceiling of 75 — that's +10 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.
