Every would-be coach who picks up a copy of Football Manager 16 will head right to the transfer list and seek out the best available free agents on the game.
These are the players without a club or a contract, and are this available to snap up for no initial fee.

They can have a transformative effect on your team, and as they’re often particularly cost-effective options, there’s no bad feeling if—eventually—things don’t work out.
