Lewis Gibson: FM20 Wonderkid Review
Gibson is an exciting young English Left Back who has the potential to be a world-class player on the left side of the pitch. His versatility and physical attributes are his biggest positives.
In the auto-generated save, Gibson did not get enough opportunities at Everton and was stagnating before making a £4m move to Burnley. He revived his career with the clarets and is now valued at a very decent £38.5m. He is a naturally fit player who is very agile and excellent in anticipating the ball. His versatility is also a big plus as he can slot in as a central defender if needed.
His average rating of under 7 though underwhelming could be because of his limited opportunities during his development phase and he is bound to perform better if given more attention.
