Football Manager 2017: 25 Best Cheap Hidden Gems

11. Eoghan O'Connell

Position: D C

Age: 20

Club: Celtic

Approx. Cost: £1.2m

Celtic have a number of quality youngsters on their books this year, but their most exciting prospect Kristoffer Ajer has only just joined the club, and guys like Kieran Tierney and Moussa Dembele are known quantities.

Eoghan O'Connell is the team's hidden gem, and a remarkably well-rounded central defender. Equally capable of reading the game and playing the ball out of defence as he is occupying a more limited role, O'Connell is a versatile CB who's already capable of starting for lesser Premier League sides.
