On long-term talent our Rating reads 50. At 22 Santiago is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 18.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Santiago missed 4 games through injury (muscle bruise, muscle, illness) out of roughly 34 this season. The 5 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Arouca finished 8th of 18 · a mid-table side
4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 5 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 50.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
