Joseph Willock: Career History until 2030

Joseph Willock: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

Willock is often seen as the heir to Gilberto Silva for Arsenal and has the potential to develop into a crucial player for the club.

In the auto-generated FM21 save, Willock has initially struggled to break into the strong Arsenal squad and has barely had any first-team opportunities which have no doubt stunted his growth massively. 

After a few difficult seasons and a couple of decent loan spells, he joined Getafe on a free transfer where he has performed admirably scoring and assisting a few goals in the process. He has come back to the PL through Brighton for whom he performed decently once again before making the jump up to Wolves. 

Although his career has zig-zagged a lot, his performances have for the most part remained decent throughout and under a good manager; Willock can thrive and become a very able midfielder who can contribute in attacking areas. He can especially be an asset for managers managing English clubs.

Although his average ratings of under 7 are underwhelming, this is just an auto-generated save, can you bring out the best in Joe?
