Tuesday 10th November marked the end of the wait for football's most popular simulation game, FM 27.
While a number of Football Manager players are fascinated by the tactical side of the game -- which improved drastically with the introduction of In-Possession and Out-of-Possession formations in FM 26 -- others are more captivated by carrying out business in transfer windows.
With only five teams having a budget greater than £50m ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, there's even more emphasis on recruiting players who represent good value for money, while the free agent market boasts a huge opportunity for you to bolster your squad without spending a penny in transfer fees.
We've taken a look at the best free agents to sign in every position in FM 27.
