The six face stats at a glance.
Santiago Arias is a holding midfielder at Cienciano, rated 65 overall in FC 26, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 30 they won't grow anymore, but they're still a reliable performer and the price eases.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is stamina (68) and tackling (67). That decent stamina is their signature.
It's not all good: reading of the game (62) and aggression (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 708 K€ with 8 K€ wages. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract. They're also out of contract soon (2025), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
They're already at their ceiling (65): at their age the rating won't rise.
Their market value is around 708 K€, with 8 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 62 — weak for their position.
