Football Manager 2017: 25 Best Cheap Hidden Gems

22. Fran Villalba

Football Manager 2017
SI Games

Position: AM C

Age: 18

Club: Valencia

Approx. Cost: £3.4m

Hiding away in Velancia's B team is Fran Villalba: a highly-exciting attacking midfielder with infinite potential. Villalba's more than good enough to player for lesser Premier League sides from day one, and after a few years of development, he'll be one of Europe's most sought-after players.

The best bit? There's a heinously low £3.4m minimum release fee clause on his contract. Valencia will try and offer him a new deal right off the bat, however, so make sure you snap Villalba up nice and early.
