Football Manager 2020: 10 Signings You Must Make Every Time
2. Mario Gomez - VFB Stuttgart
If you're looking for a real challenge and decide to manage outside of the top leagues in the world, then you have to look to bargain buys and older players who have lost a step or two to get your squad where you need it to be. The latest in a long-line of veteran players who can help with teams in the lower divisions is former Germany international, Mario Gomez.
Gomez might be in the Bundesliga 2 these days with VFB Stuttgart and physical attributes might've decreased due to his advancing years, but he can still be a threat for any lower league sides he plays for. He has the main things you're looking for as a striker, specifically finishing (17), off the ball movement (17) and anticipation (16). Considering he's valued at £1.4 million, he should be considered a sensational piece of business.
During our test saves, Gomez was never a first-choice striker. However, as a second or third choice, he was perfect as he was able to score a fair few goals from off the bench.
