Amad Diallo: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

In the auto-generated save, Diallo has remained for a few seasons at Man Utd after his transfer there but has struggled to get enough first-team opportunities often relegated to chances from the bench. He has also been often played out of position and this combined with his lack of game time has affected his growth greatly. However, his one loan season at West Ham (albeit in the Championship) is proof of how good a player he can be. He has eventually moved to Schalke in the auto save where he is getting more playing opportunities but has not shined as much as he should have.

His average ratings however, have been quite decent despite his limited opportunities and under a human manager who can handle his growth better; Diallo has the ability to become a world class star. He would definitely be a worthy addition to most FM manager’s squads and is a supremely fit and consistent player who can be relied on.
