Matthijs De Ligt: Career History until 2027
Matthijs De Ligt: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
De Ligt is already one of the best defenders in the world at the young age of 19. He is also a natural leader at the back and in the dressing room making him a very stable calming presence.
He is likely to grow into a beast in most saves and will also get you a lot of set piece goals should you make some effort in concentrating on set pieces. He will also play an important part in defending these set pieces with his aerial superiority.
His average rating of 7.20+ may not be the highest but I am very sure a human manager can bring out the best in him and make him one of the if not the best central defender in game.
