The ultimate list of the most notable free agents when starting FM15, featuring unparalleled depth and most usable presentation.

Welcome to the ultimate list of the best free players in Football Manager 2015 by FMScout.com.

Like all my other lists, I have dedicated many hours composing this to make sure it is really the greatest list of free players in FM15 around the web.

This is the successor of our popular lists FM 2014 best free players, FM 2013 best free players, FM 2012 best free players & FM 2011 best free players

This is the first edition, including over 350 players! Updates will be applied from to time to ensure I'm not missing any players worthy of appearing here.

Released: 30 Oct 2013

Frequently Asked Questions

I can't find all players of this list on my save game. Why is that?

I loaded all players (330k) in the game to produce my lists of players. Your save game probably has less players loaded, which explains why you can't find all of them.

Can you please share a shortlist for this list to import in-game?

Sorry I can't do that. I used to share shortlists but people would steal them and post on other sites without providing credit and passing as their own, which is very annoying. This also explains why you won't be able to copy/paste names off this list.

What does the rating mean?

It's a recommendation system for your convenience. I'm using a 1-100 scale and I'll explain now how I've chosen these ratings based on English divisions.

80+ all-time elite

77-79 top player for 1st division teams

74-76 solid backup for 1st division teams

71-73 top player for 2nd division teams

70- top player for 3rd division teams and below

You can quickly see which players are EU national or not. For non EU players you can check their international caps number to figure out if it's likely to get a work permit.

Click on the table headers (name, age, etc) for easy sorting.

You can also sort by multiple columns if you press and hold Shift while clicking the headers.
