Football Manager 2014 Handheld: 12 Essential Signings You Must Make

7. Renato Augusto

RenatoClub: Corinthians Price: £8m Your coaches may suggest immediately that the Brazilian who used to play for Leverkusen is a touch on the injury prone side, but he is a genuine talent who can be picked up for a relatively low price (especially considering his stats) and he can have a huge impact on even the highest Premier League sides. Able to play anywhere in an advanced midfield role, but at his most comfortable in the newly fashionable AMC position, Augusto has a Potential Ability rating of 4.5 stars, which makes his sub-£10m price tag a no-brainer. If you're looking for an attacking option who will guarantee assists as well as valuable goals, but you don't have the money or the prestigious profile to sign someone like Shaqiri or Hazard, Augusto is the best bet. And despite those couch concerns, he stays surprisingly clear of injuries.
