Rodrygo: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Rodrygo is a very good winger who has the potential to be an important player for most sides. His dribbling, pace and acceleration are his main strengths, enabling him to go past defenders with ease.
The career of Rodrygo in the auto-generated save has been a disaster. Rodrygo has stayed at Real Madrid for several seasons and has struggled to get any meaningful game time. He has largely been relegated to reserves football. Injuries have also impacted his career, and his growth has virtually been non-existent throughout the course of 10 seasons. In 2025-2026, Rodrygo moved to Newcastle, which has also been a failure. He has had some respite after moving to Sheffield, where he is more of a regular and has scored an impressive 9 league goals in one of the seasons.
His average ratings understandably have also been sub-par in the auto-save, which is a direct result of his lack of gametime. However, he has shown glimpses of his potential when at Sheffield, which goes to show that given the right opportunities, Rodrygo can blossom into a fearsome goal-scoring winger.
