Read the available ability data

The source reports current ability and potential on the game’s 1–200 scale. These values belong to its Launch Preview save snapshot. The underlying save and exact build were not supplied, so a source check is not independent editor verification. Potential is not a promise that the player will reach that value in your career.

A role-first scouting question

Virgil van Dijk is recorded at age 34 as DC at Liverpool in this reference. Start with the vacancy: define the space to defend and who covers an advance. An immediate recruitment decision needs evidence of present role fit, not only reputation.

What to check in your own save

For Virgil van Dijk, verify the same database version, current contract and intended responsibility in your save. The attribute values below are published reference figures, not an independent editor export. Source CA/PA cannot establish an asking price, willingness to join or registration eligibility.

Record the responsibility you need to fill, compare it with the actual report and identify the evidence still missing. A profile value can help organise a shortlist; it cannot decide whether a player fits your tactic, budget or registration rules.

How this record should be used

This record appears in the current-ability view rather than the young-player view because its source age exceeds our 21-or-under filter. The sample is limited and cannot establish an exhaustive ranking of all FM27 players.

When comparing records, keep snapshot date and version visible. Do not merge an updated real-world club or age with old ability values and present the result as one coherent database record. If your own save differs, use the information available there for recruitment decisions.

Shared source positions and the same dataset make these useful next records to inspect. This is a comparison route, not a claim of equal tactical suitability.
