We\u2019ve already written a round-up about FIFA 22\u2019s best young players<\/a>, but the problem with those prominent wonderkids is that they often come with hefty price tags. If you\u2019ve only got a couple of million to play around with, you\u2019ll need to partake in some savvy spending or even snap up some free agents.<\/p>\n And so, without further ado, let\u2019s explore the bargain bin in this year\u2019s FIFA<\/a> game. Read on for some top tips on cheap young players and experienced free agents who should help you bulk out your squad in Career Mode.<\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing cheaper than a free agent, so we\u2019re going to kick this article off with a list of the best free agents in FIFA 22 Career Mode \u2013 these are the players whose contracts are expiring at the end of your first Career Mode season, so you should be able to make them a contract offer from 1st January 2022<\/strong>. You\u2019ll want to get in there quickly before another club swoops in.<\/p>\n Ranked by their potential rating, these are the 10 best free agents that will become available during FIFA 22\u2019s first season:<\/p>\n Side note: if it\u2019s a free agent goalkeeper that you\u2019re looking for, Diogo Costa will be available to approach in January. The 21-year-old\u2019s overall rating is 73 and his potential rating is 85. Well worth signing if you want to start training up a replacement keeper.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t want to go down the free-agent route, the best way to get good players on the cheap in FIFA 22 is to buy underrated young players that haven\u2019t reached their potential yet. Starting with the cheapest first, here are six strikers that are well worth snapping up \u2013 play them a lot, and you\u2019ll see their stats and value start to rise.<\/p>\n The middle of the park is one of the most important areas of the pitch, and it might be wise to stuff your midfield with cheap young players sooner rather than later. Here are some of the best cheap midfielders to consider for your Career Mode squad:<\/p>\n The defensive area of the pitch isn\u2019t always the easiest place to make space for cheap young players \u2013 no one wants a leaky defence, after all. But if you\u2019re willing to risk it, these cheap players will develop nicely over time and you could sell them on for big bucks later:<\/p>\n Speaking of risky moves, if you\u2019re brave enough to put a cheap young goalkeeper between the sticks, these players will reward you over time with improved stats. For a big team, it might be best to save them for cup fixture, but lower-league teams might find starting spots for this lot:<\/p>\n With all of those great cheap players to choose from in your FIFA 22 Career Mode, you should be able to put together a great squad \u2013 or at least a squad with heaps of potential \u2013 without having to break the bank or enable unrealistic transfers.
