Football Manager 2022: 10 Wonderkids To Sign From South America

10. Calegari

Club: FLU

Nationality: Brazilian

Position(s): D(R), WB(R), DM

Potential Ability (PA): 140 - 170

Top level wing-backs are somewhat hard to come by in this year's iteration of Football Manager, as last year’s fan favourite, Sporting’s Nuno Mendes, is on loan at PSG and will likely join them permanently before the loan expires, making him almost impossible to get early on. Therefore, those looking to strengthen the right side of their defence may have to pony up the big bucks to do so.

However, there just so happens to be a potentially top-tier right-back plying their trade for Fluminense in the Brazilian top-flight.

With a PA in the range of 140 - 170, Caligari could become one of the best right-backs in the game if you manage to get a decent version of him when starting your save. The marauding full-back, who can also step in at defensive midfield, has a release clause of £34million at the start of the game, which may sound steep at first but when you consider he could be one of the best right-backs in football in the future it could wind up being an absolute steal in the long run.
