Rodrygo: Career History until 2027
Rodrygo: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Rodrygo is a very good winger who has the potential to be an important player for most sides. His dribbling, pace and acceleration are his main strengths and these attributes enable him to go past defenders with ease.
In the auto generated save he has spent all the seasons in Real Madrid itself. He has grown from strength to strength and has become one of the most lethal players in the game in 2027. In the last season he has produced astonishing numbers with 24 goals and 9 assists just in the league. He is valued at £87m in the market making him one of the most expensive players in the game.
His average rating of over 7.5 is testament to his ability in the game and he will be a powerhouse in almost every save. He is one of the best players in the game and will be a welcome addition to any manager in FM2020.
