Lucas Silva career history until 2020
This FM 2014 player profile of Lucas Silva shows a brilliant young defensive midfielder, a player that can destroy the opponent’s attacks but also create something going forward. He’s not very expensive, you can grab him for 12.5 million pounds at the start of the game and that’s not too much considering his ability and potential.
In my test save he moved to Benfica, then back to Brazil at Corinthians and then finally made the big move to Juventus. For a defensive midfielder he has excellent technical skills and good creativity, he is a natural born leader and physically solid as well. If you need a man in front of your defence then this lad should definitely be on your shortlist.
