Theofanis Bakoulas is a defensive midfielder at Rio Ave FC, rated 63 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 78, CDM. That's a bit short for their position. At 20 they're aiming at 78. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is stamina (72) and short passing (66). Their stamina is decent and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: marking (56) and tackling (58). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Worth around 1,3 M€ with 2 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 63 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +15 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 CDM, though they can also play CM.
Their potential is 78. They start from 63, so they can rise +15 with minutes and development.
