Football Manager 2022: 10 Left-Backs You Must Sign

3. Fabrizio Angileri

Football Manager 2022 Ian Maatsen
SEGA

Club: River Plate

Nationality: Argentinian

Price: £2.5 million

Much like the case of Jetro Willems, sometimes you need a reliable player who you can pick up at a decent price and have as a great option for your squad. In Fabrizio Angileri, there's a left-back who absolutely fits that bill.

A good squad player for the top, top teams, the River Plate favourite is a nailed-on starter for those teams who are floating around mid-table or the lower reaches of any of Europe's biggest divisions. At a price of around £2.5 million, Angileri is massively affordable for teams with even the tightest of budgets.

At 27 years of age, the former Godoy Cruz player has been around the block and is an experienced head who can help provide some stability if you've got a squad that's largely made up of younger players. In addition to that experience, Angileri is also still young enough that you can get a solid three, four or five years out of him - with another positive being that he's one of those players who doesn't get easily frustrated if he's not starting every game.
