How do you get the best out of Ruiz de Galarreta?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Deep-Lying playmaker and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (84), aggression (82) and tackling (80). That very good stamina is their signature.
What are they missing?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they worth the price?
