Charlie Patino: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Patino is a technically gifted midfielder who has the ability to become an elite playmaker in most saves.
In our auto-generated FM22 save, Patino has remained at Arsenal for the first 6 seasons but has failed to break into the main team. He has only for the reserves and youth sides which has had an adverse effect on his growth. In the year 2027-2028, he signed for Burnley and has quickly become one of the key players for the side. His performances with the club have also been at a high level (in comparison to others on the side) and Patino is one of the top players in the club in 2031.
His average ratings have been decent even though not overwhelming with Burnley. However, his lack of game time early in his career has definitely affected his development and Patino is only a shade of the player he could have become. Under a human manager, Patino can become an elite playmaker and can be a good solution for managers handling English clubs.
