Football Manager 2016: Predicting 15 Best Players

Football Manager 2016 is due for release on November 15 and with 2015/16 season well underway (in real life) it's time to think about who FM16 will select as their best players on the new game. The beautifully-accurate football simulation doesn't tend to get many things wrong therefore the players who make this list should be proud of their achievements and start to believe (if they don't already) that they're the finest footballers on the planet. Last year's top 15 list featured, Toni Kroos, Arturo Vidal, Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie yet due to the influx of talent currently on offer in world football, I have predicted that they will just miss out on this year's list. Other big players such as Thomas Muller, Thiago Silva and Alexis Sanchez once again missed the cut although will still be key players on this year's release. Based on their FM15 overall score and the progression they made during the 2014/15 season, I have predicted the 15 best players on Football Manager 2016...

15. Paul Pogba

Club: Juventus Age: 22 Last Years Rating Score: 169/200 Paul Pogba didn't make the top 30 best players on Football Manager 2015 and is the biggest mover in this year's list. The Juventus midfielder's progress during the 2014/15 season was sublime and he picked up his third Scudetto title as well as reaching the Champions League final. The Frenchman's attributes will have rocketed on FM16 and I can imagine his passing, composure and decisions will all be raised along with many others.
