Maurits Kjaergaard: FM22 Wonderkid Review
Kjaergaard is one of the best Danish wonderkids in FM 2022. He is very well-rounded and can become an elite player in many saves.
In the auto-generated save, he has spent 8 out of the 10 seasons at RB Salzburg and had become one of the most important players at the club. His time with Salzburg is riddled with personal and team accolades, with Kjaergaard winning multiple trophies and individual awards. Interestingly, he has not moved from the Austrian Bundesliga until 2029-2030, when he joined Brighton in the Premier League. Although his first season with Brighton was underwhelming, he has scored an impressive 12 league goals and contributed 6 assists in the last season of the autosave.
His average ratings throughout the autosave have been steady. Although Kjaergaard has been more of a big fish in a small pond, he certainly has the ability in the game to become a goalscoring midfielder and can be a handy addition to many FM2022 Manager's teams.
