• Player Development
• Embolo developed significantly in the game. He already had great attributes but at the peak of his career, he reached world-class status. His Progress Rate is 7 out of 10 which is calculated by players age, professionalism, determination and ambition.
• Career Summary
• Breel Embolo's attributes at the start of FM16 already tell us that this is a player of great calibre. He continued his career at Napoli who bought him for  £11.75M, from where he headed to Arsenal for £33M. Two good seasons at the Gunners made a staggering £61M switch to FC Barcelona, where he had no luck and came mostly from the bench and bagged only 14 goals in three seasons. Again, a big-money move of £45M back to the island to Man City where he's now enjoying the peak of his career. He got 110 caps for Switzerland scoring 48 goals.

• Breel Embolo possesses a fair amount of pace. The player's ability to do the unexpected is one of the main reasons behind his ability to go past his man. Fairly adaptable when it comes to living in another country. A versatile player is natural in a couple of positions. Great starting attributes with lots of potential that can see him improve drastically in the future.
