Tomas Esteves: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
In the auto-generated FM21 save, Esteves has had it rough. He has struggled to break into the Porto side and has been relegated to reserves football, barely getting any game time. This has had a disastrous effect on his growth and has resulted in him stagnating massively as a player in the save.
However, he did get some respite by switching to Bournemouth, where he became a starter. His performances have also started to improve slightly, but the early dent in his career made a permanent impact on his development.
His average ratings have been decent and steady throughout but largely underwhelming for a player with so much promise at the start of his career. There is absolutely no doubt that under a human manager, Esteves can develop into a much better player
