Eljif Elmas: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
Elmas is the best Macedonian wonderkid in Football Manager 2021 and his versatility makes it easy to make him a part of most tactical setups.
In the auto-generated save, Elmas has done relatively well with Napoli before making the switch to Hertha who are a powerhouse in the auto save. His performances for Hertha have also been consistently good with him contributing several goals and assists throughout the auto save. In his best scoring season, he has 10 goals for the club from central midfield which are extremely impressive numbers.
His average ratings have also remained fairly consistent and good throughout the auto-save which is a testament to how consistent he can be. His market value of £49 in 2030 (autosave) is a fair reflection of his ability and under a human manager with more challenges and game time, he can develop into an absolute gem of a player.
