Thiago Gigena is a striker at Newell's Old Boys, rated 51 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 62, ST. That's a liability for their position. At 19 with 11 points of headroom up to 62, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

Their place is up front as ST. A box striker rather than a counter-attacker: feed them crosses and arrivals, not long runs. The game also rewards them with roles like Advanced forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, watch their weak foot (2★): always angle them onto their strong side.
Their best assets are aerial ability (60) and off-the-ball movement (55). Their aerial ability is poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: volleys (42) and shot power (46). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Their market price sits around 153 K€, with 1 K€ in 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 51 with a ceiling of 62 — that's +11 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.
