Antonio Blanco: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

In the auto-generated save, Blanco has struggled to break into the Real Madrid strong despite strong performances for Real Madrid B. He also had a couple of unsuccessful loan spells before making a permanent switch to Valencia. 

Once at Valencia he has established himself as a regular at the club and has given some really good performances contributing plenty of assists and popping up with the odd goal. He is currently the captain of the Valencia team in the auto save and is responsible for Valencia achieving their targets.

His average ratings have been extremely impressive throughout the save and has been consistently good across all seasons. Despite being played in deeper roles, he has contributed crucial goals and assists and can be an even better player under a human manager.
