These are our favourite free agents for your save inFM24…
The most dull player to sign on anyFMgame is a backup goalkeeper, right? Well we’ve just saved you a job. With one particularly high-profile free agent in David De Gea this year, you can pick up a high-stats GK to compete in your squad.
There aren’t a lot of top-quality right-backs sitting in the waiting room onFM24but with a fair few capable of operating in different positions, it’s worth giving some of these players a trial.
The list of central defenders waiting for a contract inFM24contains World Cup winners. With some hugely experienced players on the list, getting one or two of these players in can address leadership in your squad.
There are plenty of decent left-backs able to join you for just a sign-on fee. Two interesting picks? Ryan Bertrand and Danny Rose, formerly England’s two best in that position.
Defensive midfield is always stocked with free talent inFM– and given that this is a position in which players tend to improve with age, it’s perhaps no surprise to see so many over-30s in this list.
As ever with CMs, it’s best to take a deep-dive into the stats before signing. Are they defensive? Attacking? A mixture? Taking a player on trial could be an idea first.
There are dozens of attacking midfielders inFM24who have enough versatility across the pitch to be an asset. With plenty of high-profile names, these players are worth taking on trial.
Seemingly every year, Hatem ‘streets won’t forget’ Ben Arfa is a free agent – and this year is no different. With few big names who can play in this position though, this isn’t a vintage year for right-wingers.
Some famous faces available for free in this list, with the likes of Ravel Morrison, Helder Costa and Javier Pastore free at the start ofFM24. Some of these players are in their twilight years, with a few right in their prime.
Goals are the rarest currency in football: getting them for free is even better. There are plenty of stars with experience on this list who can add a spark in attack.
