FM 2020 Player Profile — Gonzalo Montiel
If you like cheap full backs that can defend, shortlist this kid. For just £4.8 million Montiel could start for most top flight teams. Those ‘attacking’ attributes leave much to be desired, but make way for amazing mentals, great physical attributes and good defensive ability.

Summary
If you like cheap full backs that can defend, shortlist this kid. For just £4.8 million Montiel could start for most top flight teams. Those ‘attacking’ attributes leave much to be desired, but make way for amazing mentals, great physical attributes and good defensive ability.
With great current ability Gonzalo can develop further and looks a world class talent in my test save. If your tactic utilises attacking, creative wing backs Montiel would not be ideal, but if you want defenders who can defend those average ratings are testament to his consistency and ability.
