How do you play Rafael Luís?
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 Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their best assets are strength (71) and short passing (70). That run-of-the-mill strength is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: marking (58) and aggression (62). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 2,7 M€, with 6 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How much will they grow?
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 79 — that's +12 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
