Gabriel Menino: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
Menino is one of the most versatile wonderkids in FM21. He also happens to be quite good at several positions.
Menino has remained at Palmeiras in the auto-generated save for a few seasons before making the jump to Roma. He has established himself as one of the main players at Roma and has featured in several positions due to his versatility.
His performances have been crucial in helping Roma earn a Champion’s League spot in most seasons.
His growth, however, can be much better than what has happened in the autosave, where probably his versatility has gone against him. However, he is a highly valued player in the market, which is probably a reflection of his growth.
His average ratings, though not great, have been consistently good, especially for a player who has been played across various positions and roles. There is no doubt that under a human manager, Menino can develop into an even better player and will be a superb addition to most squads.
