Football Manager 2016: 15 Free Agents You Must Sign

By Matt Smith /

8. Joris Mathijsen

Former Club: Feyenoord Wage Demands: 34.5k (per week) Age: 35 Position: Defender (central) The extremely experienced Joris Mathijsen still has relatively high wage demands but (even aged 35) he still has good enough attributes to become an instant leader for your side. He still possesses a high level of composure, positioning, teamwork, natural fitness and heading. The Dutch international is well worth signing for a lower first division side and would be a fantastic purchase for any side below that calibre of league. The defender has played 84 times for the Netherlands and has a wealth of Bundesliga and Eredivisie experience.
