Football Manager 2017 Fantasy Draft: 24 Essential Bargains You Must Sign
4. Andrea Ranocchia
Price: £10m
Position: DC
Inter centre-half Andrea Ranocchia is yet another name who shouldn't require a great deal of set-up: he's been one of the bargains in the game since Italian football's financial climate changed so fundamentally a few years back. He's also always been a strong, dependable unit for the heart of your defence, and little has changed.
The Italian will win absolutely everything in the air, which is particularly key if you're playing against a team that likes to bully you through the middle. And while his stats aren't what they were a couple of years ago, he's far more than a £10m player, and his value to your squad - if not your first team all the way through a game - will be massive.
