Martin Odegaard: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Odegaard is definitely the best Norwegian wonderkid in game. He is a technically gifted attacking midfielder who is a master dribbler and can pick a pass. He is an asset for most FM managers and is one of the best players in the world in his position.
In the auto generated save Odegaard has remained with Madrid throughout but has not started enough games for the club. However, his one loan season at Valencia has shown his quality with him contributing 11 goals and 7 assists. His market value of £60m is proof of his quality and he will work wonders under the right manager.
He has an excellent average rating in his last 3 seasons further showcasing his ability as one of the best attacking midfielders in game.
