How to get the best out of Rafael Santos in Career Mode
Rafael Santos is a central defender at Santa Clara (65 overall, CB) — a bit short at that. In full maturity (26); sign them to win now, not for the future.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2024
How do you get the best out of Rafael Santos?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
What makes them reliable: strength (71) and slide tackling (68). That run-of-the-mill strength is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their soft spots: aerial ability (55) and composure (59). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 891 K€ with 8 K€ wages. You pay for immediate, proven output: pricey but no surprises, they deliver now. 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 far can they go?
They start from 65 with a ceiling of 68 — that's +3 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.
What is Rafael Santos's best position?

How high can Rafael Santos's rating go?

Do they defend the box well?
Their marking is 63 — weak for their position.
