Manuel Ugarte: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Ugarte is one of the best Uruguayan wonderkids in FM2022. He is very well-rounded and does not have many weaknesses.
In the auto-generated save, Ugarte has had a very decent career. After impressing at Sporting for a couple of seasons, Ugarte has moved to the Premier League via Arsenal. He had an extremely impressive debut season with the club, however, was moved to more of a bench role in the next season. After a couple of good loan spells, Ugarte then joined Milan, where he has once again done well for himself. In the autosave, Ugarte has helped his clubs fight for several titles and even win a few of them.
His average ratings have been steady and good throughout the 10 seasons of the auto-save. Under a human manager, and if mentored correctly, Ugarte has the potential to become a top defensive midfielder in the game.
