FM26 Free Agents - FAQ

What counts as a Free Agent in FM26?

An unattached player with no transfer fee. Our list shows only players with a minimum Current Ability of 100 so you are not wasting time on bodies who cannot help right now.

Why is this list sorted by CA not PA?

Free Agents are about impact today. We default sort by highest Current Ability so you can plug gaps immediately. You can sort any header as needed.

How should I judge CA for my level?

Compare scout reports to your squad. A CA 120 winger may be rotation at a top division club but a star in a lower league. Star ratings are relative to your team and league reputation.

What about wages and bonuses?

Keep basic wage sensible. Front load with appearance, clean sheet or goal bonuses, add optional one year extension, and include sell on or next sale percentage to sweeten lower wage asks.

Should I trial Free Agents first?

Yes where possible. A one to two week trial reveals attributes, fitness and sharpness. It also lets coaches assess role fit before you commit.

Are there registration or EU rules to consider?

Yes. Check league registration windows, squad size limits and home grown quotas. Use the EU or Non-EU chip in this list to avoid work permit headaches.

How do work permits affect Free Agents?

The same points based rules apply. Second nationality can bypass permits. Consider affiliate clubs for eligibility or delay signing until the next window when rules reset.

Short term deal or long contract?

Over 30 or stopgap - go short with an optional extension. Under 28 or high CA relative to your squad - lock two to three years if wages are sane.

Fitness and match sharpness look poor. Red flag?

Not always. Free Agents often lack sharpness. Give two to four friendlies and a tailored training block. Persistent low natural fitness or high injury proneness is the real red flag.

Why do some players appear in multiple position tables?

Because they are natural in several roles. You recruit by role fit, not just by a primary position. Seeing a player twice is intentional.

Why does the flag not match the filtered nation?

Players can hold second and third nationalities. If you filter by England and see a Portugal flag he likely has both, which matters for registration status.

How do I avoid agents pushing silly demands?

Start with lower basic wage plus appearance bonuses. Offer higher squad status for a lower base. Remove non negotiable clauses like yearly wage rise and add team of the year or loyalty bonuses instead.

What is a sensible wage band filter?

Under £5k p/w bench depth, £5k-£15k p/w rotation, £15k-£40k p/w first team, £40k+ p/w marquee if your budget allows. Use the dropdown to slice fast.

When can I register a Free Agent?

Many leagues allow signing any time but registration only in windows or before squad list deadlines. Always check competition rules before confirming.

Do Free Agents come with hidden issues?

Sometimes. Check injury proneness, consistency and important matches in coach or scout reports. Past injuries and poor professionalism can sink value quickly.

How do I use this page quickly during a save?

Filter by position or EU status, sort by CA, hit Copy next to the name, then in FM open Player Search and press Ctrl + V. On mobile we hide the Copy button to keep tables compact.

Why do club names sometimes look odd in FM26?

Licensing. We normalise common aliases so Parthenope shows as Napoli and long names are shortened on mobile for readability.

Will a high PA Free Agent improve a lot after signing?

Only with minutes, good personality and low injury load. Free Agents with strong PA can still stagnate if they sit on the bench. Recruit with a clear pathway to starts.
