"Kasim has the potential to be a good Premier League standard midfielder, with consistent, if not outstanding, attributes across the range.

"He’s suited to a deep lying playmaker role, which could suit Swansea, with good stats for passing, composure, and decision-making.

"In FM, he generally enjoys a good, if unspectacular, career, but if consistency rather than brilliance is your thing, Kasim ticks the boxes."

We have asked Football Manager expert Alex Stewart - a man who is no stranger to snaffling bargains and spotting potential, all from the comfort of his own laptop on the popular computer game - to offer an alternative perspective on the transfer market.


don't worry guys we have a lad here that'll run any name through his latest copy of Football manager and tell you exactly what his scouts say.. then he'll make up **** about his career "usually" being solid by looking at the player history in his seaosn 2020/21 managing some prem club to 5 CL in a row.

I'm glad the BBC takes itself seriously.
Sad thing is, I reckon there are a few on here who think doing well on Football Manager makes them an expert.

"A box-to-box midfielder with great stamina, work rate and determination, Doucoure is not especially cultured but would bring a strong physical presence to the Hornets.

"In FM, he’s seen as a decent Premier League player but his attributes for passing and technique are 12 or higher so he’s not a total clogger.

"Anything more than £3m as a fee would probably be over-the-top, though."
