What role should Luis Rioja have?
Their place is out wide as RM. Give them the ball out wide and space to attack: they beat their marker one-on-one and look for the byline or the shot from their side. They can also play LM and RW. The game also rewards them with roles like Winger and Inside forward, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
Where they really hurt you is dribbling (80), acceleration (79) and agility (79). Their dribbling is more than solid and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 13,6 M€ with 48 K€ wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
