Ventajas

With the Power Header trait, he becomes a lethal weapon during set pieces. He can score goals or clear the ball away from crosses with brute force.

Ruben Dias excels in marking opponents tightly and reading the game. His awareness allows him to position himself in key spots, intercept passes, and snuff out dangerous attacks before they even begin.

One of the core aspects of Ruben Dias' defensive prowess is his ability to stand firm and win tackles. His timing and technique when making standing tackles is exceptional.

While he’s not the fastest player overall, Ruben’s acceleration allows him to get into position quickly and recover when the ball is in a dangerous area.

He brings an impressive physical presence to the field, with high strength and jumping.

Contras

Ruben Dias top speed isn’t elite, so he might struggle to keep up against pacey wingers and forwards.

He doesn’t excel at slide tackles, which is a common tool for stopping speedy attackers or making last-ditch defensive interventions.

While his physical strength is solid, his stamina could be an issue in longer matches.

Given the meta of the game, there are other center-backs who offer much more quality.

Alternativas

Veredicto final

Ruben Dias is a top-tier center-back with some clear strengths, especially in aerial duels and defensive positioning. His ability to win headers, tackle effectively, and control the backline makes him a solid choice. However, his lack of top-end speed, combined with the stamina may hinder him when going up against the fastest and most agile attackers in the game. He’s more suited for players who focus on a structured defensive system, where positioning, strength, and defensive awareness outweigh pure pace or dribbling ability.
