Football Manager 2016: 20 Strikers You Must Sign

Let's get something clear. This is not a list of the 20 best strikers in the world. This is a list of strikers who make incredible, exciting, or shrewd signings. Charlie Austin falls into the latter category. He's never going to a be a world-class English export, but he really could be the difference between winning and losing championships, titles, and trophies.

That may seem like a big claim, but Austin is a bargain for the player you get in exchange. His contract will expire at the end of the first season, so resist showing any interest in him at the beginning of the season. Don't draw attention to Austin, just monitor him as he's the ultimate January 2016 signing for around the £4m mark. If you're a top team looking for a little push over the line, Austin can chip in with crucial goals when the squad begins to tire and fixtures pile up.
