Summary
Arguably the best ball winning midfielder in Football Manager 2020, Florentino Luis has high current ability and very reliable potential. With a fixed PA and great personality (model citizen) Luis is guaranteed gold and capable of first team football at any level from day one.
A hard hitting midfielder capable from DMC and MC Florentino is best used as a ball winner but could anchor the midfield and protect your defence. As he develops, the Portuguese wonderkid could become more rounded and feature as a deep lying playmaker.
Manchester United are said to be interested in real life and we think Luis could be the missing piece in their midfield. Fernandes as the advanced playmaker, Pogba the midfield link and Luis doing the dirty work. That all round ability in our future save is just insane and justifies double his £45 million asking price.
