Football Manager 2022: All the best free agents to watch out for this year

Football Manager 2022 is out now on beta - and if you're anything like us, you'd like a little bit of a headstart. 

And while your owners might refuse your request for more transfer funds - or worse still give you a measly £2m increase - you can at least take advantage of all the players who are absolutely free from the start of the game.

FM22 All the Football Manager 2022 wonderkids you'll need to sign

There are a fair few of them out there...

There are some big names that you'll notice this time around, too.

Jack Wilshere - a free agent this time last year - is back on the list. Miles Jacobson exclusively told us when we spoke to him last year that he was hoping Wilshere would be snapped up to avoid the clamour for his signature - but that didn't stop him implementing the former Arsenal midfielder in his own Watford save. We see you, Miles.

Legendary Brazilian full-back Dani Alves may be 38 but he's on the list as well this time around, while Hatem Ben Arfa is back on there (when isn't he?). Neil Taylor is a decent left-back for a certain level, ex-Manchester City midfielder Fernando is free too, while Jack Rodwell, Ramires and ex-Chelsea star Salomon Kalou might all add something to your side.
