We’ve all had that frustrating feeling of playing Football Manager, controlling the destiny of our favourite team, trying to construct a squad of world beaters and trawling through the pages and pages of players with a Pep Guardiola shopping list and a Mick MCCarthy budget.
Worry no more, here is a compilation of players-currently plying their trade in the Championship-whose contract expires in the summer of 2016 and might just be worthy of a look to take you to the next level after your first season in charge.
The list will highlight value, best position, age, list of key abilities and also their current wage so that you don’t need to do any laborious homework and research. You will be able to see instantly whether they suit your style of play, one to take for the future and maybe more importantly, whether you can get your thrifty chairman to fork out the necessary wages.
