FM2019 best free transfers

This list includes some of the most notable free agents in Football Manager 2019 at the beginning of the first season (July 1st, 2018).

After the latest update, I've handpicked roughly 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 2018 best free agents.

► Looking for Best Football Manager 2024 Free Transfers?

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.

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
68-70 important player for 4th division teams
65-67 important player for 5th division teams

FAQ

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

I loaded all players (350k+) in-game to produce this list of FM19 free agents. Your savegame probably has fewer players loaded.

What is this ^Exp next to the name of some players?

I used this to mark players who are not exactly free agents, but their contracts have expired and you can approach them for free without having to pay any compensation to their clubs.

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.
