How do you play Santeri Väänänen?
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 Box crasher, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their weapons: stamina (75) and aggression (75). Their stamina is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Where do they struggle?
Their weak points: strength (59). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Their market price sits around 2,2 M€, with 2 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
How much will they grow?
They start from 67 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
