How do you get the best out of Santiago Castañeda?
Their place is in central midfield as CM. They're the engine of midfield: circulate the ball, start moves and connect defence to attack. Surround them with legs that run for them. They can also play CDM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).
What are you buying?
What makes them reliable: stamina (76) and short passing (72). That competent stamina is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
No obvious holes for what their position asks: a profile without clear cracks.
Are they a good buy?
Worth around 3,1 M€ with 5 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side.
How far can they go?
They start from 68 with a ceiling of 78 — that's +10 of headroom. They're young, so they'll grow fast with games: the big jump comes before 23. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
