Football Manager 2017: 20 Free Agents You Must Sign

3. Philippe Mexes

Football Manager 2017 Free Transfers
SI Games

Age: 34

Position: DC

Despite his age, former Roma and Milan legend Mexes is still a Premier League quality player. He has the highest level pedigree, his stats are still very good (15s for Marking, Tackling, Positioning and Heading) and he will do a job for mid-table upwards in the Premier League.

He'll only cost around £35k in wages, which is not bad at all for a player of his quality and you should definitely consider him.

Potential Value: £77k

Mexes might not play a lot of games for you, but he will perform when he's asked to, managing 6.75-7 average ratings, chipping in with a couple of goals (from corners) and leading on the pitch. If you can convince him to sign for a Championship club, he's even better.
