Francisco Conceicao: FM22 Wonderkid Review
In our auto-generated FM2022 save, Conceicao has remained with Porto for a few seasons and has largely been relegated to the reserves or a bench role. This has impacted his growth and affected his development in the game. In 2024/2025, he signed for Burnley and has been far more of a regular. His performances have also improved in Burnley, and in his best season, he has produced 11 goals and 5 assists, albeit in the championship. In the last season of the autosave, Conceicao is with Galatasaray and is one of the club's more important players.
His performances have been good with regular gametime. Some of his best seasons have come when he has played in his preferred role and when combined with better teammates, Conceicao can be a very handy wonderkid in the game.
