Zain Tahir is a centre-back at Oldham Athletic, rated 58 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 71, CB. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 19 with 13 points of headroom up to 71, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you get the best out of Zain Tahir?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. They can also play LB. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender and Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is strength (76) and jumping (70). Their strength is good and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?
It's not all good: composure (48) and aerial ability (54). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 513 K€ with 5 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.
How far can they go?
They start from 58 with a ceiling of 71 — that's +13 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is Zain Tahir's best position?
Their best position is CB, though they can also play LB.
How high can Zain Tahir's rating go?
Their potential is 71. They start from 58, so they can rise +13 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 513 K€, with 5 K€ wages.
Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 59 — weak for their position.
