Ryan Merlen 68

Ryan Merlen is a Silver CM card rated 68 in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, playing for STVV in the 1A Pro League for France, and he is a new player to the game in FC 27 with no FC 26 card. His standout traits are a solid shooting and dribbling profile, with finishing 72 and dribbling 71, plus a 3-star weak foot and 2-star skill moves.

He suits a central midfield slot in a Deep-Lying Playmaker role, where his short passing 71 and long passing 70 can drive the build-up, and he can also be used at CAM. Because his defensive awareness 45 and interceptions 51 are low, he works best in a team that has ball-winners around him. His crossing 56 and pace 57 are also modest, so avoid asking him to be a wide or running attacking force.

Merlen is for players who want an affordable Silver midfielder for passing-based play in a deeper role, not for those looking for defensive strength or pace.
