Darijo Srna (aged 29, RB / RWB / RM, Shakhtar Donestk)
Despite playing with Arsenal and already having a cracking RB with the brilliant Bacary Sagna I still opted to sell him (for aprx 17mil) and bought Srna ( for 15mil). He is a little old for my liking and not the best defensively (Jumping 10, Marking 12, Positioning 12, Concentration 13) especially compared to Sagna but his plus side, in my experience, far exceeds his age and slight defensive lapse.
Firstly, he doesn't rely too heavily on his speed or strength so you can get a couple extra years out of him, offsetting his age a bit. By far his most valuable ability comes in the form of set pieces and crossing with a Freekick of 19, Crossing of 18 and Corners at 14 you will find him scoreing at least a handful of goals every year and contribute plenty of assists. He's the only RB I've ever had to regularly win MOTM 5-10 times a season (currently 32 games and 8 MOTM) and his match rating is usually 7.50 or higher.
I'm also a huge fan of anyone who's a work horse and Srna epitomizes the term having 15 Tackling, 17 Stamina and 20 in each Aggression, Bravery, Teamwork and Work Rate. So if you think your CBs are good enough to cope with his slightly poor aerial ability than definitely go out and try and get this guy because not only will Shakhtar sell quite easily, he will almost certainly not stay there as your rivals will almost certainly snap him up and he'll playing against you.
