Thimothee Pembele: FM20201 Wonderkid Review
In our auto-generated FM21 save, Pembele, as expected, has struggled to make it into the PSG squad and has been out on several loans with mixed success. He has then moved to St Etienne for 1 season, where he played every single game of the season and performed admirably.
Pembele’s average rating has been consistently good throughout the auto-save. Under a human manager, he can definitely be an asset especially considering that he can be available for a very low cost.
