FC26 Free Agents
A complete guide to FC26 Free Agents: best bargains, hidden gems, and full stats to strengthen your Career Mode squad.
FC 26 Best Free Agents
​
Free agents in FC 26 are a useful way to boost your squad in Career Mode without spending transfer budget. While there aren’t as many available compared to past editions—since most real-life players were signed before launch—there are still plenty of solid options.
The best free agents can slot straight into a starting XI for Road to Glory saves, or simply add much-needed depth for midweek fixtures and injury cover. Just keep in mind that if you disable the first transfer window, you won’t be able to sign free agents until January.
​
Standout Free Agents
-
Memphis Depay (ST, 81 OVR) – The biggest name on the list, Depay is a proven goalscorer who can still deliver at the top level, though at 31 he won’t improve further.
-
Hakim Ziyech (RM, 78 OVR) – A creative winger still capable of producing magic, but age is catching up with him at 32.
-
Victor Lindelöf (CB, 75 OVR) – A Premier League-experienced defender who can add leadership and depth to your backline.
-
Matt Turner (GK, 74 OVR) – A dependable goalkeeper who can serve as either a starter for smaller clubs or a solid backup.
-
Cesar Montes (CB, 75 OVR) – Strong in the air and still only 28, giving a couple of good years as a central defender.
​
Young Free Agents with Potential
Unlike most older free agents, there are a handful of younger options worth picking up and developing:
-
Lewis Koumas (RM, 19, 69 OVR → 79-85 POT) – A wide player with impressive growth potential, ideal for Road to Glory saves.
-
Ross McCausland (RM, 22, 67 OVR → 76-82 POT) – Solid physical profile and dribbling ability, good long-term winger option.
-
Tomas Galvez (LB, 20, 60 OVR → 73-79 POT) – Low-rated now but with enough upside to become a quality full-back in a few seasons.
-
Jassem Gaber (CB, 23, 63 OVR → 73-77 POT) – Cheap, physical defender who can grow into a reliable rotation piece.
