The six face stats at a glance.
Elkin Ruiz is a wing-back at Independiente del Valle, rated 57 overall in FC 26 with a potential of 75, LB. By the standards of the role, that's poor. At 19 they're aiming at 75. A project, not an instant fix, but the kind worth the wait.

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 LM. The game also rewards them with roles like Fullback, which reinforce that profile.
Their best assets are top speed (74) and acceleration (74). Their top speed is unremarkable and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where they struggle: slide tackling (45) and reading of the game (51). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Their market price sits around 472 K€, with 2 K€ in 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.
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 75 — that's +18 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.
Their best position is LB, though they can also play LM.
