Football Manager 2022: 10 Right-Backs You Must Sign

7. Ismael Casas

Football Manager 2022 Devyne Rensch
SEGA

Club: Malaga

Nationality: Spanish

Price: £5.5 million

Available for approximately £5.5 million, Ismael Casas represents excellent value for money for those looking at embarking on a lengthy FM22 career.

With strong starting stats for pace, acceleration, stamina, bravery and teamwork, the 20-year-old has so many of the traditional full-back bases covered, with those numbers capable of improving further as your save goes on. The Malaga youngster also of course has solid figures when it comes to his defensive attributes - which all adds to how Casas is someone who wouldn't look out of place as an option for your starting XI despite his age.

It's the price tag which makes Ismael particularly appealing, as his value is significantly less than a lot of those other standout right-backs featured elsewhere on this list. As such, that makes him affordable for pretty much any half-decent team of note, rather than simply being one of those RBs who you can only sign if you're one of the purported big teams who have a huge amount of money behind them.
