Dwight McNeil: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

In our auto-generated Football Manager 2021 save, McNeil stayed with Burnley for a few seasons before making the switch to Crystal Palace and then to Spurs in the 2028-2029 season. Although his performances for Burnley have been good, he has improved multifold after his switch to Palace and has contributed several assists in many of his seasons. 

His average ratings have been consistently decent throughout most of the seasons, and at better clubs his performance and output will most definitely be better. A human manager can definitely bring much more out of the player and he can be a prolific English winger in most saves.

His market value of £51 in 2030 is testament to how good a player he can be even when not handled correctly and be a much-improved player for bigger clubs. 

Considering that he is English and with the Brexit rule in the game, he can be an important player for FM21 Managers who handle English clubs.
