Mikkel Damsgaard: FM21 Wonderkid Review
In the auto-generated fM21 save, Mikkel has remained with Sampdoria for a few seasons where he has had mixed success before signing for Roma. His performances for Roma have certainly been much better and his numbers reflect this.
He has then moved onto Juventus & Chelsea in the autosave and has produced decent numbers for both clubs. He is valued at a respectable £61M in the transfer market which is a reflection of his ability in the game. Although he has had a decent career under the AI manager, a human manager can bring much more out of the player.
Damsgaard’s average ratings have also been a bit underwhelming at least initially in his career but is now in and around 7 meaning that he more than a decent choice on the left-wing. However, his performances will certainly be better under the right manager if he is given more game time and the opportunity to grow.
