Football Manager 2016: 20 Defensive Midfielders You Need To Sign

19. Pepelu

'Why are you showing me this?' is what you may be thinking. Most people would just see another bang average youngster, but Pepelu is far more than than. He's only 16, with plenty of time still to grow. Realistically, you should be signing the Spanish midfielder 5 years in advance. If you nurture him correctly and loan him out at the right time, Pepelu will develop into a solid Premier League footballer for a minimum cost. He's absolutely no risk, but the reward is enormous, and if your club develops to the very top level, the worst case scenario is that you'll make a very good profit on him. Everybody wins.
