Brenden Aaronson: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

Aaronson is one of the best American wonderkids in Football Manager 2021. He is very well rounded and will be a top player for most sides in future saves.

In the auto-generated save, he has initially failed to break into the Salzburg midfield and has been relegated to reserves football for a good part of 3 seasons. This no doubt, has stunted his growth but however when he did get his chances, his performances have been impressive and he has contributed with a lot of goals and assists. 

In 2025-2026 Lazio has offered a way out for the American and he has been a revelation since joining the club. He has contributed plenty of goals and assists each season and is one of the best players at the club. His average ratings have also been excellent throughout the save and under the watchful eye of a human manager, he can be an asset to any side.
