By FAFIFA Team · updated August 2026
How do you play Santiago Cuestas?
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 CB and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Holding, which reinforce that profile.
What are their strengths?
Their best assets are tackling (60) and marking (60). That poor tackling is their signature.
Where do they struggle?
Where they struggle: reading of the game (50) and slide tackling (57). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Are they worth signing in Career Mode?
Their market price sits around 399 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them. 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 56 with a ceiling of 74 — that's +18 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.
