Football Manager 2017 Fantasy Draft: 24 Essential Bargains You Must Sign
12. Nuri Sahin
Price: £12m
Position: DMC/MC
Another name who should be very familiar to most Football Manager veterans, Turkish central midfielder Sahin feels like he's been around for years, and he's only just hitting his peak now.
He's not the kind of player who will score you masses of goals, but he's a brilliant deep lying playmaker and a master craftsman on the ball (that 18 passing rating is only the start of his value). He's a very astute technical footballer and he's exactly the kind of defensive midfielder who will sit in front of your defence and start attacks. Make sure he has the ball and that £12m price tag will look like you got him for free.
