Football Manager 2017: 20 Essential Signings You Should Always Make

10. Mario

Mario FM 2017
SI Games

Age: 25

Club: Villarreal

Position: D (R)

Approx. Cost: £10.2m

One of FM 2017's better right-backs, Mario almost always leaves Villarreal for a bigger club at the start of the first season.

You'll need to act fast to secure his signature, but Mario is worth every penny of the £10-11m he'll cost you. Attributes-wise, the Spaniard is a solid all-rounder who's equally comfortable at both ends of the pitch, and is already more than good enough to play for even the biggest clubs.
