Avantages

While not the fastest striker, his pace is sufficient to break away from defenders, especially when combined with his strength.

He is a clinical finisher, capable of scoring from various positions inside and outside the box.

His shot power ensures that his strikes are difficult for goalkeepers to stop.

While not extremely agile, he moves well off the ball, making it easier to create space for himself.

A major strength—he can hold off defenders, win aerial duels, and shield the ball effectively, making him an excellent target man or hold-up striker.

Inconvénients

4 star weak foot, this means he may be inconsistent when finishing with his weaker foot, especially under pressure.

Similar to Orsolini, he may struggle to maintain intensity for a full match, making him less effective in extra time or high-pressing gameplay.

His response time to loose balls or quick changes in play might be a bit sluggish, affecting his effectiveness in fast-paced situations.

3 star skill move, a major drawback for players who rely on dribbling and skill moves to get past defenders.

Alternatives

Verdict final

Santiago Giménez is a strong, clinical, and physical striker who excels in finishing, hold-up play, and aerial battles. He is best suited for teams that focus on crossing, direct play, or a two-striker system where he can play alongside a more agile partner. His lack of elite dribbling, skill moves, and stamina means he is not ideal for fast counter-attacks or solo runs.
