Angel Gomes is an English wonderkid who plays as a winger/Attacking
midfielder for Lille in Ligue 1 on FM22.
Gomes started his youth career at Man Utd. He is the youngest player to score a hattrick for Utd reserves since 2001 and is the third-youngest player to ever do so. Citing a lack of first-team opportunities at Man Utd, Gomes signed for Lille in 2020 and was immediately loaned out to Boavista in the Portuguese League. After a successful loan spell, Gomes is back at Lille and is hoping to make an impression with the defending Ligue 1 champions. He is yet to make his debut for the English national team but has represented them at several junior levels.
Gomes is a highly technical attacking midfielder. He could potentially become a leading PL star in the future.

Angel Gomes: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Angel Gomes is one of the most promising wingers in Lille. His pace, dribbling, flair, and technical ability make him an excellent unpredictable winger who will easily go past his man and a nightmare to mark in 1 on 1 situations. His versatility is also a big plus as he can play comfortably down both the wings or down the middle.
In our auto-generated FM22 save, Gomes has remained at Lille for several seasons with mixed success. In his best season, he has scored a respectable 10 league goals. However, his career in the auto save has been marred by injuries which has no doubt had an effect on his growth and overall development as a player. As a result, Gomes has not reached anywhere near his potential and is an average player after the 10 simulated seasons of the auto-save. In the final season of the save, he plays for Lyon and is considered an important part of their side.
Gomes' average ratings have been decent and steady in the auto-save. Despite an injury-laden career, Gomes does have several good seasons under him and, with the right circumstances, can excel to become an elite attacking player in Football Manager 2022.
