Football Manager 2015: Predicting 10 Highest Rated New Premier League Signings

3. Fernando

Known for his crunching tackles and perhaps more worryingly regular yellow cards, Fernando is a shrewd acquisition from Porto for Man City. Perhaps the missing piece of the midfield jigsaw for Pellegrini, the Brazilian adds an additional dimension of sheer grit. Incredibly good at his job of breaking up play and keeping the resulting pass fairly simple, the former Porto man will boast excellent mental statistics, as well as the stamina and strength to excel as a ball-winning midfielder or anchorman. If you want a man to protect your back four expertly on the new Football Manager, Fernando is most likely one of your top transfer targets - but good luck prising him from the Etihad.
