How to get the best out of Santiago Arias in Career Mode
Santiago Arias is a full-back at Independiente, rated 73 overall in FC 27 with a potential of 81, RB. By the standards of the role, that's unremarkable. At 34 they've seen it all: an emergency or leadership signing, not a project.
By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
What role should Santiago Arias have?
Their place is the flank, up and down the wing as RB. Use them as a wing-back in a back three or with a holding midfielder to cover their runs. They can also play RM. The game also rewards them with roles like Wingback, which reinforce that profile.
What are you buying?
Their weapons: acceleration (74) and stamina (73). That run-of-the-mill acceleration is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 5 M€, with 13 K€ in wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. 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 73 with a ceiling of 81 — that's +8 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 Santiago Arias's best position?
Their best position is RB, though they can also play RM.
How high can Santiago Arias's rating go?
Their potential is 81. They start from 73, so they can rise +8 with minutes and development.
Are they expensive to sign?
Their market value is around 5 M€, with 13 K€ wages.
Can they handle the flank up and down?
Their top speed is 71 — run-of-the-mill for their position.
