Reece James: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

Reece is one of the best fullbacks in Football Manager 2021 with one of the best crossing attributes among all right-backs that are in the game. His overall balanced stats also make him a decent defender and will rake up multiple assists under the right manager.

Reece James has never left Chelsea in the auto-generated save but is now valued at a respectable £49m. He is one of the main reasons that Chelsea have established them as a superpower in the PL & the UCL contributing plenty of crucial goals and assists.

His average ratings have also remained consistently good throughout the 10 years of the save and James has established himself as one of the leaders for Chelsea both on and off the pitch. 

Considering that Brexit plays an important part in FM21, James will be an excellent addition to any manager handling English sides and his performances will definitely be much better under a human manager with better supervision.
