Michael Olise: Career History until 2031
Michael Olise: FM22 Wonderkid Review
In the auto-generated save, Olise has had a mixed bag of a career. He has spent a few seasons at Palace, who have ended up getting relegated from the Premiership in 2023-2024 of the auto-save. However, Olise has stayed at the club and lit the championship on fire, having had 17 goal contributions in the league. In the 2025-2026 season, he made the switch to West Ham but had barely been used by the club. Playing with underwhelming teammates initially and a complete lack of gametime later has affected his development negatively. In the last season of the autosave, Olise finds himself at West Brom, yoyo-ing between the Championship and the Premier League.
His average ratings, although not extraordinary, have been steady and decent. Under a human manager with the right circumstances, Olise can develop into an elite playmaker and could become one of the best set-piece takers in the game.
