In the auto-generated save, after just spending 1 season with Ajax, Gravenberch has moved to Bayern Munich. He was deployed as more of an attacking midfielder at Bayern but did not affect his performance one bit. He had helped Bayern compete and win several trophies and was one of the club’s top performers in the autosave. 

This prompted a big-money move to Man United, where his game time was rather limited, and he was pushed to a much deeper role. His performances were still just as good, and in season 2031 of the autosave, Gravenberch is amongst the best midfielders in the game.

His average ratings have been steady and good throughout the 10 seasons of the autosave. Under a human manager, Gravenberch can be a real asset and a game-changer for many teams.
