Takefusa Kubo: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Takefusa is one of the best central midfielders/attacking midfielders in FM20. His stats are pretty good to start off with and become monstrous even under a computer manager meaning that most players will be able to get even more out of the Japanese starlet.
In the auto generated save, Kubo was not given chances to prove himself at Real Madrid and was stagnating in the reserves. He then made a move to Stoke where his establishing himself as a regular. Despite barely featuring in games, Kubo is rated at a respectable £34.5m in the market and is a competent Attacking midfielder for most clubs.
His low average rating is probably a reflection of his stagnation at Real Madrid and a human manager will definitely be able to get much more out of the Japanese starlet.
