Matias Palacios: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
In the auto-generated save, Palacios has had a tough time. After spending a few seasons with San Lorenzo, he has made the switch to Liverpool, where he was relegated to the bench largely. Then he has had a host of loan spells with mixed success.
His average ratings have largely been underwhelming throughout his career, and it is so probably because of his poor finishing. However, in much deeper roles, Palacios is a creative threat and will be a huge asset to most FM21 Manager’s sides.
