One of only 6 players to possess the coveted -10 for PA in FM2010 he is the youngest player ever to play in the Mexican professional leagues at only 14 years and 325 days of age. Like Vela, Pato is currently playing in the MLS and potentially still has a few seasons left… if he can stay injury-free! Such a shame that a clearly gifted and talented player had a promising career hampered by injuries. In 2019 he returned to Brazil for Sao Paulo. He got one last big-money move to China as his old teammate Gattuso brought him to Tinajin where he scored almost a goal per game.

He returned to Brazil in 2013 where he had some success and remained injury-free and even had a brief (unsuccessful) loan spell at Chelsea in 2016. Sadly this proved to be the high point for him as in 2011 he suffered three serious hamstring injuries in the space of a year only to recover and then suffer a series of other minor injuries to devastate the second half of his Milan career. Initially, his move to Milan seemed to put him on the path to greatness as he flourished on the wing of a 4-3-3 formation winning the Serie A player of the season in 2009 and finishing as Milan’s top scorer. Very creative and technically gifted he starts as a top-class 18-year-old who has just moved to AC Milan.

For a long time one of the more impressive young players to come from Brazil in the series.
