Zhang Hongfu is a centre-back at Liaoning Tieren FC, rated 48 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 72, CB. By the standards of the role, that's a liability. At 17 with 24 points of headroom up to 72, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

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. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is strength (72) and reading of the game (54). That decent strength is their signature.
It's not all good: aerial ability (41), composure (42) and top speed (55). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 160 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
They start from 48 with a ceiling of 72 — that's +24 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.
