Diego Lainez: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Diego Lainez is one of the best Mexican wonderkids in FM2020. He is a very pacy winger who has extremely good physical attributes.
In the auto-generated save, he has remained at Real Betis for a few seasons before making the switch to Atletico Madrid. He has had plenty of very good seasons and has consistently given 15+ goal contributions. He is now valued at a very respectable £66m and despite having excellent attributes can definitely grow further under a human manager.
His average ratings of over 7 are a testament to how good a player he develops into and could be one of the best under-appreciated wonderkids in Football Manager 2020.
