With a massive player roster in EA Sports FC 26, you can easily spend a lot of time searching for affordable players to strengthen your team.
We’ve already discussed promising young players, but sometimes a team needs a veteran to lead the way, or a free agent eager to prove themselves.
Keeping budget in mind, we’ve compiled a list of top players available for low cost, and also included another list of players you can sign on a free transfer.
Even big names like Memphis Depay can be found among the free agents! Let’s get started.
Best bargains in FC 26 Career Mode
Honestly, if you’re looking for someone who can really do it all, I’d say Jorthy Mokio is the player to watch. He’s already looking strong defensively, but I have a feeling he’s going to become a fantastic central midfielder – he’s got that kind of potential!
Chelsea might also want to consider Marc Guiu, but he’s currently playing on loan at Sunderland, meaning he won’t be available immediately.
Okay, so I just found this young striker, Nelson Weiper, playing for FSV Mainz, and he’s a total bargain! He’s not super expensive to sign, but honestly, I think he could become a really top-tier player if you develop him right.
Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha is a promising young winger worth considering. He starts with a rating of 68 but has the potential to reach 88, making him a valuable and affordable addition to your team who should quickly pay for himself.
Here are a few extra recommendations for scouting early on:
- Christos Mouzakitis: Age 18 | Olympiakos | CM, CAM | 71 OVR | 86 POT | Value: £3.9m
- Konstantinos Karetsas: Age 17 | Genk | CAM, RW, CM | 70 OVR | 86 POT | Value: £1.4m
- Elias Baum: Age 19 | Eintracht Frankfurt | RB, RM | 72 OVR | 84 POT | Value: £4.8m
