Brahim Diaz: Career History until 2030

Brahim Diaz: FM2020 Wonderkid Review

In the auto-generated FM21 save, Diaz’s career has been rather underwhelming and most of his abilities have declined over the 10 years. After failing to break into the Real Madrid team, Diaz has been relegated to reserves football for his 2 seasons at the club and this has completely stunted his growth. 

After making the switch to Sampdoria in 2023-2024, he has performed slightly better and has been an important member of the first-team squad. Despite all this, his goals and assists tally have been extremely poor for a player of his caliber and this is partly due to how badly the AI has managed him. Being a versatile player has also been detrimental to his career in the auto save as the AI has never really settled on his playing position and he has been constantly rotated to fill in gaps.

His average ratings are a reflection of his career in the auto save and have been equally underwhelming. It is clearly obvious that a human manager can get much more out of the youngster and he will definitely be a good addition to most squads.
