Football Manager 2024 Best Free Players

Welcome to the ultimate list of the best free players in Football Manager 2024 by FMScout.com. Like all my other lists, I have dedicated many hours composing this to make sure it is really the greatest list of free players in FM24 around the web.

This is my guide to finding and assessing the top Football Manager 2024 free agents. Some of the players you'll find below could be a good fit for the top leagues, but this time I've expanded the list to include players of lower league standards.

FM2024 best free transfers

This list includes some of the most notable free agents in Football Manager 2024 at the beginning of the first season (July 3rd, 2023).

I've handpicked over 400 players! Updates will be applied from time to time to ensure I'm not missing any players worthy of appearing here.

This is the successor of FM 2023 best free agents.

What are free agents?

They are players without contract available on a free transfer. Free players are ideal to boost your squad when your transfer budget is very limited. They are usually players in the twilight of their career, but there are always cases of younger players who are still free for different reasons.

You can quickly see which players are injury prone; they have a relevant icon next to their names.

What does the rating mean?

It's my personal recommendation system for your convenience. I'm using a 1-100 scale and the ratings are based on English divisions.
80+ key player for 1st division teams
77-79 rotation/backup for 1st division teams
74-76 important player for 2nd division teams
71-73 important player for 3rd division teams

FAQ

I can't find all players of this list on my savegame. Why?

I loaded all players (476k+) in-game to produce this list of FM24 free agents. Your savegame probably has fewer players loaded.

Where is the downloadable shortlist to import in-game?

In recent years I would not share a downloadable shortlist because people would steal them and post on other sites without my consent. However, I will eventually release some shortlists with my favorite players.

Feedback Appreciated

I'm counting on your feedback to update this list, so I encourage you to post your suggestions in the comments section below for players I might have missed or others who shouldn't be here. Any questions regarding those players feel free to ask.
