Therefore, you\u2019re going to have to be on the lookout for cheap players when you can.<\/p>\n<p>Enter free agents. These are players who aren\u2019t signed to any club, so there won\u2019t be a super expensive transfer to deal with. What we\u2019ve compiled here is a list of the best free agents for each position on FM 23. Hopefully it helps with your budgeting, as you get your team ready for world domination!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FM 23 Free Agents<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Goalkeeper: Javier Belman<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a cheap goalkeeper, you could do a lot worse than this young goalie from Spain. At \u00a39,750 \u2013 \u00a312,250 he won\u2019t break the (virtual) bank in terms of wage demands, and at the age of 24 there\u2019s a big chance he could progress.<\/p> <h3><strong>Right-Back: Edgar I\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>His time with Trabzonspor ended in June, and his expected wage is \u00a316,970. He can be both a right-back and a central defender, so bear that in mind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Left-Back: Enock Kwateng<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This French free agent is primarily a right-back, but left-back is listed among his capabilities as well. His expected wage is around \u00a39,000, which should make him affordable to most decent-sized clubs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Attacking Midfielder: Jordon Ibe<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This English winger made his professional debut at just 15, and his stats show that he has a few positions down (although we\u2019d recommend sticking him in as an AMC). His wage is around \u00a38,500 \u2013 \u00a310,750.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Striker \u2013 Fernando Llorente<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>He may be 37, but you could do a lot worse than having this Spanish striker on your team. His stats are still strong, and his wage demands should be somewhere around the \u00a329,500 \u2013 \u00a336,550 mark.
