How do you play Stuart Armstrong?
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 CAM. The game also rewards them with roles like Half-winger and Box-to-Box, which reinforce that profile. Technically, they cope well with their weaker foot (4★).

Their best assets are short passing (74) and ball control (72). That decent short passing is their signature.
What are they missing?
For their role there's no weakness of note; a very well-rounded player.
Are they worth the price?
A free agent, so no transfer fee (— wages): one of the most cost-effective signings around. At their age their value only drops: negotiate and don't tie a long contract.
