Football Manager 2018: 20 Transfer Bargains You Should Snap Up

16. Sergi Palencia (Barcelona B)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic FM 2018
SI

Age: 21

Position: D (RL)

Fee: £500-600k

Barcelona's B team isn't a bad place to go fishing for wonderkids, and if you're looking for one at right-back, you could do far worse than Sergi Palencia. On the game, you can snap him up for upwards of £400k, while in real life, he's on the cusp of the Spanish giants' first team and about to enter a new deal.

Palencia defends doggedly and will help keep your rearguard tight, but he likes to get forwards too, providing five assists and scoring once for Barca B last season. At just 21, he's classed as a hot prospect for the future, but is more than capable of settling into a top-half Premier League side, providing the rest of the team is balanced.
