This is number three in our series looking at the wonderkids of Football Manager 2008 and how they are getting on in real life.

Lulinha was born in Maua, a Brazilian village in the State of São Paulo on 10/04/90. He started as a futsal player before joining the Corinthians youth system at the age of 8. A prolific attacking midfielder, he helped the Brazilian national team to win the 2007 U-17 South-American Championship, scoring 12 goals in 7 matches. In 2007 he played in the Pan American Games and scored 3 goals in 3 games.

Lulinha is rubbish. You guys need to get a real wonderkid like John Fleck or Henri Saivet.

its' funny but this season 2009/2010 lulinha is on loan at portuguese second league club Estoril-praia. he was bought by a players fund that decided to put im playing in a small portuguese team for a better adap. to european football. Estoril-praia is one of the feeder club for Sporting lisbon normally Sporting put some young player on loan at estoril.
