Sergej Milinkovic Savic profile in 2016 (after starting new game, 17.2)
Sergej Milinkovic Savic profile aged 29 in the year 2024
Sergej Milinkovic Savic career history until 2024
This FM 2017 player profile of Sergej Milinkovic Savic shows a giant central midfielder with fantastic aerial ability and strength. Not sure what those poor average ratings are about, Savic is capable of much more. In my test save he gained good all round ability, he can pass, shoot from range and dabbles in a little of everything. His real powers are in heading (17), jumping reach (17), strength (19) and off the ball (16). If you have a great set piece specialist, this guy is a must and then concentrate on perfecting your routines. A man mountain unstoppable in the air.
Only negative is I think you have to play your system around his strengths to get good ratings, hence the poor performances in my save.
