Football Manager 2017: 20 Free Agents You Must Sign

Age: 31

Position: DMC/MC

Having spent a good deal of his career in English football with Crystal Palace and Cardiff, Dikgacoi comes with bags of relevant experience for upper Championship sides looking to bolster their defensive options. Despite being let go by the Bluebirds, he's also got pretty good stats for a freebie, with 14s and 15s in Marking, Tackling, Heading and Positioning. What more do you want from a defensive player? Just make sure you put him in to protect your defence and you'll be laughing.

Potential Value: £50k

By no means a world-beater, the South African maintains his ratings even as he turns 32 and he's undoubtedly a smart addition t any Championship squad. He'll also work in a Premier League newcomer squad, if you can convince him not to go abroad to a top level side in Scandinavia.

And used sparingly, he's capable of 7+ ratings.
