Football Manager 2017: 20 Essential Signings You Should Always Make

6. Niklas Sule

Niklas Sule FM 2017
SI Games

Age: 20

Club: Hoffenheim

Position: D (C)

Approx. Cost: £27m

Niklas Sule's countryman Jonathan Tah is just as worthy of your attention at CB, but Sule starts off as a more complete player and generally develops faster than his compatriot.

Strong in the tackle and surprisingly quick, Sule is one of FM 2017's best all-round defenders, and his ambitions quickly outgrow what he can realistically achieve at Hoffenheim. Sign him up, and Sule can conceivable become a guaranteed starter for up to 12-14 years - he's that good.
