Football Manager 2017: 15 Release Clause Bargains You Need To Exploit

13. Pablo Batalla

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2017 RELEASE CLAUSES
Sports Interactive

Release Clause: £3m

At 32 years old, Pablo Batalla is about to commence his career's downswing. His physical attributes are already middling at best, and they'll show the sharpest decline as he enters his twilight years. Fortunately, his playing style places no emphasis on his physical attributes whatsoever, and his decline will be relatively graceful.

Batalla is a classic number ten who excels at pulling the strings between attack and midfield, and he's elite in this role. Think of him as a slightly less static Juan Roman Riquelme and you're not far off. An outstanding stopgap choice for any team lacking in this position.
