How do you get the best out of Rafael Santos?
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 Attacking wingback and Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are acceleration (74) and top speed (71). That decent acceleration is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Where they struggle: marking (57) and reading of the game (59). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 738 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. Not a bargain, but money well spent if you want a reliable starter from day one. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
