Football Manager 2016: 20 Defensive Midfielders You Need To Sign

2. Thiago Maia

Kramer is the most ready-made midfielder here, the Number 1 spot belongs to the player with the highest potential of all, while this spot is dedicated to Thiago Maia, the pick of the bargains. The 18-year-old already has an amazing array of stats for his position, and they will only improve as Maia develops. He's just turned 18, meaning he can immediately sign for your team and you can begin training him up immediately. And the best part? This potentially world class midfielder is valued at a staggeringly low £350k. You'd be foolish not to splash a tiny chunk of your budget on a superstar of tomorrow.
