Weston McKennie FM23 Wonderkid profile in 2022

He can‘t play just four positions on the field, including the goalkeeper. Surely, if you want to use Weston in the defense, think twice before doing that. Weak marking and jumping reach cause problems for your team, especially in the air. Better unleash his potential in the midfielder position. He can score goals, give you an advantage in tackling, and grant a decent performance in total. Weston is a player with a small amount of potential ability left and now at his peak form.

Weston was sent on loan with the optional fee, and while he is in Leeds, you can’t buy him.

The agent will demand a high wage for his client, €8-10 million in a year. For example, this is the level of a starting eleven in Man City. You will need a lot of money in the wage budget.
