Yari Verschaeren: Career History until 2027
Yari Verschaeren: FM20 Wonderkid Review
In the auto-generated save, he has remained with Anderlecht for a few seasons before making the switch to Atletico for a mere £22.5m. However, his numbers are excellent throughout with him contributing to 20 goals (goals and assists) in his latest season with Atletico.
What is more remarkable is that he has been used in a variety of positions and has his performances have never dipped. I am sure that a human manager will be able to get much more out of Verschaeren and he can go on to become one of the best players in the game.
His average rating of over 7 in all his seasons is testament to how consistently good he has been and his current market value of £71m (in 2027) is a reflection of his importance.
