Football Manager 2022: 10 Centre-Backs You Must Sign

2. Kaiky

Football Manager 2022 Kaiky
SEGA

Club: SAN

Nationality: Brazilian

Price: £4 million

Kaiky is someone who you should immediately try to sign on FM22.

This is a player with so much potential, so much promise, and who is initially buyable for £4 million. The problem is, should you take your time with this one, Kaiky's value will soon reach £30 million just a couple of months into your first FM22 season.

To be fair, even then, Kaiky is one of those youngsters where a price tag of £30 million shouldn't necessarily put you off signing him if you're able to afford that amount. That's testament to just how great this 17-year-old can become.

With remarkable starting stats for someone so young, this Santos prospect is more than comfortable on the ball, in addition to having all-round good defending talents when FM22 starts. If you have the finances, the coaching facilities and the chance to give him occasional first team minutes, Kaiky can soon be on the path to becoming one of the game's best defenders after only a handful of seasons.
