First appearance in the data
Yuto Nagatomo is a wing-back, rated 68 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 78, LB. By the standards of the role, that's decent. At 39 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
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. They can also play RB. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What makes them reliable: reading of the game (69) and acceleration (69). That run-of-the-mill reading of the game is their signature.
Their soft spots: stamina (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Comes in free: no transfer fee, you only take on their — wages. At zero cost, the risk is minimal. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract.
They start from 68 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +10 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is LB, though they can also play RB.
Their potential is 78. They start from 68, so they can rise +10 with minutes and development.
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Their top speed is 66 — poor for their position.
