Football Manager 2022: 10 Centre-Backs You Must Sign

Football Manager 2022 Igor
SEGA

Club: Fiorentina

Nationality: Brazilian

Price: £6 million

Igor is almost one of Football Manager 2022's greatest little secrets. This cultured Fiorentina defender may not be an expensive A-list talent and he may not be the next white-hot prospect to take the beautiful game by storm, but he's a fantastic, shrewd signing who brings plenty to the table for those who choose to pick him up.

Costing a relatively modest £6 million or so, the former S.P.A.L. centre-back can be relied upon to deliver consistent performances from week to week. Solid across the board with his stats, Igor is one of those 7/10 Mr. Reliable types who can be a mainstay of your first team, or at least your first team squad, for years to come.

Given how his natural fitness, stamina and strength numbers are all 15, the 23-year-old is also a useful option to fill in at left-back in case of emergency - and it's no surprise to see that he's comfortable playing as a wide centre-back, ball playing centre-back and in the libero role.
