Football Manager 2016: 20 Signings You Must Make Every Time

16. Joao Mario

Club: Sporting Lisbon Age: 22 Estimated Cost: £40 million Position: Midfield Centre Joao Mario is a perfect centre midfielder who can play as a natural CM or deployed as an AMC. The Portuguese starlet is highly-rated on Football Manager 2016 and unless you purchase him right at the start of your career then he will cost you around £40 million. Now despite that being an extremely large sum of money, Mario will give you genuine quality through the middle and his passing, technique, composure, first touch and physical attributes are exceptional for a 22-year-old. On top of that he can finish and will rack up more than five assists every season. The midfielder has played 32 games for Sporting Lisbon and scored six goals since joining the club in 2011.
