How do you get the best out of Ricardo Santos?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. Put them in charge of the back line; they defend the box and set pieces better than chasing in open space. The game also rewards them with roles like Stopper and Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their best assets are strength (92) and jumping (75). Their strength is phenomenal and it's the trait to build their game around.
What are they missing?

Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 974 K€, with 14 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2027, you have leverage to bring the price down.
