Fabio Silva: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Fabio Silva is one of the best Portuguese wonderkid strikers in FM22. He is a very well-rounded striker who does not have many weaknesses.
In the auto-generated save, Silva has stayed with Wolves for a few seasons where he has barely had any game time. This as massively stunted his development and affected his growth in the game. In season 2027-2028 of the auto-save, he has moved to Blackburn in the championship and has excelled, which has immediately prompted a move to Fulham, where he currently plays in the auto-save.
His average ratings throughout the auto-generated career have been par at best, but this can be attributed to his lack of gametime. Under the correct circumstances, Fabio Silva can become an elite striker.
