Thiago Almada: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Almada is amongst the best Argentinian wonderkids in Football Manager 2022. In the autosave, Almada has just spent 1 season at Velez before moving to AC Milan. This was due to his impact in the Argentinian league with him scoring and assisting an incredible 14 times in just 17 games. Despite being successful at Milan, Almada was used as more of an impact sub and was never given a clear run of games.
After a fallout with the board due to a lack of starts, Almada had moved to West Ham where he is now one of the key members of the side. In his best season for the hammers, Almada had scored an impressive 8 league goals. Almada could have become an even better player provided he got more gametime earlier in his career.
