Thimothee Pembele: Career History until 2027
Thimothee Pembele: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Pembele is one of the best young players in PSG. He could develop into a very reliable defender if given enough chances and mentored properly. He is an aerial beast and will always be a threat from set pieces.
In the auto generated save, he has had it very tough with absolutely no opportunities at PSG and has only played for their reserve team. Finally in 2027 he has made the switch to Leeds and will definitely start more games now.
Under a human manager and with the right mentorship, Pembele will grow into a world class defender who will always contribute with goals. Although he is valued at a low £4.2m, he is still young and could grow further.
His average rating of around 7 for the reserve team is probably a fair reflection of his ability and will be a good player to manage for most FM Managers.
