What role should Erik Lira have?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM and CB. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Where they really hurt you is stamina (81), tackling (80) and short passing (79). Their stamina is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
It's not all good: marking (61) and reading of the game (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Comes in free: no transfer fee, you only take on their — wages. At zero cost, the risk is minimal. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now.
How far can they go?
They start from 73 with a ceiling of 80 — that's +7 of headroom. Some room left, but at their age improvement is slow now: don't expect a leap. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.

How high can Erik Lira's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?
No: they're a free agent, arrive for free and you only pay their — wages.
Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 62 — weak for their position.
