As a die-hard Football Manager fan with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that FM24 free agents are a game-changer for those of us working with a tighter budget. These players might not be the shining stars on the pitch, but they’re the unsung heroes who help level up your squad and bring success to even the smallest clubs.

While the free agents in FM24 might not be the top-tier players of the game, they’re an excellent option for acquiring talent when you’re managing within a limited budget.

By incorporating top affordable players from FM24 into your team, smaller clubs can elevate their roster, aiming to discover an ideal fit for a novel formation or strategy.

After several successful seasons, it might be time to consider investing in slightly pricier talent, although it’s not quite the thrill of acquiring a promising young star.

But no matter your FM24 starting budget, there’s something for everyone here, with good options for all positions on the field covered – so read on to find out which players await!

Players nearing the end of their contracts, with no teams interested in signing them, will typically receive a much lower transfer fee compared to highly sought-after players who have hefty minimum release clauses and demand substantial sums.

While some members from our roster might play for just a year or two more due to their age, they offer significant coaching abilities and valuable experience that greatly benefits our younger players. Investing in these experienced veterans proves beneficial in the long run.

It’s not suggesting that these players are poor quality at all; instead, you might find quite capable footballers who offer good value for their price range.

Best FM24 free strikers

At the end of the day, it’s essential to score goals, and these forwards will undoubtedly enhance our chances in this game.

  • Fabio Quagliarella – Italy, 40. Though getting on, Quagliarella is a sensational player, famous for scoring a screamer against Slovakia in the 2010 World Cup. He won’t play for much longer but will bring a great deal of experience to your team.
  • Connor Wickham – England, 30. Recently released by Cardiff City, Wickham is a competent striker and has plenty of gas in the tank left for many seasons to come.
  • Caleb Chukwuemeka – England, 20. Older brother of Carney, Caleb is a great pick for a lower league with good potential to grow. His last club was Aston Villa, where he was loaned to Livingston and Crawley Town.

Additionally, it’s about preventing balls from finding their way into the goal, and these goalkeepers whose contracts have ended would be quite useful in this regard.

  • David de Gea – Spain, 32. If you have the coffers, De Gea could prove vital to your team throughout the season after just finishing with Man Utd.
  • Gonzalo Collao – Chile, 25. Having just finished with Palestino, Callao is free to a good home and at 25, he should be saving goals for years to come.
  • Jonathan Orozco – Mexico, 37. Orozco has just finished a three-year stint at Club Tijuana in Liga MX, and while getting on, he has loads of experience complement the younger players in your squad.

Best FM24 free midfielders

A striker lacking in actions other than running becomes rather predictable. These midfielders ensure the ball finds its intended target, all while creating their own opportunities too.

  • Vasco Walz – Germany, 19. Whilst currently unsigned, Walz is reported to have been offered contracts by premier teams across Europe including Inter Milan and Juventus. Snap him up before they do!
  • Xeka – Portugal, 28. Xeka is a great player for reliably making assists and being able to score goals of his own. His fitness is currently “severely lacking” but that’s nothing a bit of training can fix.
  • Jesse Lingard – England, 30. After playing a season for Nottingham Forest, Lingard is free to a good home. As an attacking midfielder, he’s bound to make great assists and grab the odd goal for himself, too.

Best FM24 free wingers

Monitoring from the sidelines, the wingers play a crucial role by enhancing both offense and defense. They either let the ball pass them by or intercept it before the defenders can reach it.

  • Nemanja Jović – Serbia, 20. This left winger has had a promising start to his career playing for Partizan Belgrade and with some good training, especially from a player like Quagliarella, Jović could prove to be a great investment.
  • Tanguy Coulibaly – France, 22. Coulibaly is a well-rounded winger and is best suited for attack but will also be great for assists. Trained in the PSG Youth Academy, Coulibaly most recently played for VfB Stuttgart.
  • Ibrahima Dramé – Senegal, 21. Dramé last played for Bandirmaspor in Turkey’s Second Tier, and could be a great budget left or right winger for your burgeoning team in career mode for a few seasons.

Best FM24 free defenders

In my critical analysis, while the limelight often shines brightly on the players delivering stunning performances, it’s during those tense moments that the true heroes emerge – the ones whose actions leave me marveling and thanking my cinematic foresight for guiding you towards their talents.

  • Jérôme Boateng – Germany, 34. Boateng is a very experienced centre-back defender who can bring all he’s learned to the team. He won an impressive 83% of his duels in the 2014 World Cup Final against Argentina and is said to arguably be the true man of the match.
  • Sulayman Marreh – Gambia, 27. Coming off a three-year contract with KAA Gent, Marreh is an affordable centre-back who is also a competent midfield defender. With some good training, Marreh could prove vital throughout the seasons.
  • Emmanuel Attipoe – Ghana, 22. After last playing for Albacete in LaLiga 2, Attipoe is in search of a new team, and he could be a great no-nonsense defender early on in your career.
