FM26 Bargain Buys - FAQ

Why CA 130 minimum and age capped at 32?
CA 130+ gives plug and play quality for top flight squads. The age cap keeps resale and physicals sensible. If you want younger ceilings, use our Wonderkids shortlist.
What value bands do you use on this page?
We slice by practical FM budgets - Under £1m, £1m - £2.5m, £2.5m - £5m, £5m - £7.5m, £7.5m - £10m. Pick a band in the Value dropdown and the tables update instantly.
Why no PA or star rating here?
Bargain Buys is about immediate impact per pound, not long term ceiling. We rank by present level and price reality. For PA tiers, head to Wonderkids.
How do I use the filters fast?
Type a name, club or nation in Live Search, select a Value band, tap an EU chip, then drag the Age slider. Click any header to sort - the third click resets to the original on page order.
Do you enforce the £10m and age 32 limits in tables?
Yes - hard caps are baked in. Even if you widen the slider or bands, rows above £10m or older than 32 will not appear.
Why do flags sometimes not match my nation filter?
Many players have secondary nationalities. We show one flag badge, but filters also consider second passports - handy for work permits and home grown rules.
What does the blue or red EU chip mean?
Blue EU - EU eligible. Red Non-EU - counts as foreign in many leagues. Tap chips to include only the status you can register this window.
Are the values exact transfer fees?
Values reflect realistic market ranges at start date. Clauses, form and AI bidding can move the final fee. Check Contracts - Clauses for relegation or release traps.
Why does Inter Miami not clash with Inter?
We normalise club names. Inter Miami CF always shows as Inter Miami CF. Unlicensed Blu neri maps to Inter. Brazilian three letter tags map to full club names.
Why is the same player shown under two positions?
Versatility is value. If a player is natural or accomplished in multiple roles, he appears in each relevant table. Scout the role that fits your tactic.
Can I copy names into FM search quickly?
Yes - hit Copy next to any player, open FM search, press Ctrl + V. On mobile the Copy button hides to keep the table compact.
Best way to structure a bargain deal?
Use add ons and instalments, keep basic wage tight, add optional extensions and sell on. Offer Important Player status and promise minutes to soften agent demands.
What changes on mobile?
We show compact columns so lists stay readable - Name, Club, Value. Long clubs are shortened and Copy hides. Filters remain sticky at the top.
