Alessandro Bastoni: FM20 Wonderkid Review
Bastoni is one of the best Italian wonderkid defenders in FM2020. He is a very well rounded central defender who does not have many weaknesses.
In the auto-generated save, Bastoni has remained with Inter for a couple of seasons before moving to Roma. His stats have not improved much as a result of his managers not using him to his full potential. Despite his growth getting stagnated he is valued at a respectable £49m and a human manager will be able t bring out much more from him.
Despite not having much game time, his average rating of around 7 is still impressive and as he will definitely become much better with better management and more game time.
