There's certain to be something for everyone, so check below to discover your next bargain buy in FIFA 23 Career Mode.
World Class
Sometimes all you want is a player that can step into your team and become an immediate superstar.
Well, that's exactly what these guys offer, with all of the names listed below certain to make an instant impact.
Manuel Neuer is the clear standout from this section, with the Bayern Munich stopper only valued at around the £12 Million mark but quickly able to slot in as your number 1.
If it's a quick goalscoring machine you're after then Edin Dzeko is certainly your man. Whilst the Inter forward is getting on, the Bosnian forward is ageing like a fine wine and is more than capable of becoming a certified star in your team.
Name | Club | Position | Value | Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|
Manuel Neuer | FC Bayern | GK | £11.6m | 90 |
Hugo Lloris | Spurs | GK | £11.6m | 87 |
Thiago Silva | Chelsea | CB | £10.3m | 86 |
Sergio Ramos | PSG | CB | £12.5m | 85 |
Samir Handanovic | Inter | GK | £5.2m | 85 |
David Silva | Real Sociedad | CM CAM | £12m | 83 |
Edin Dzeko | Inter Milan | ST | £12.5m | 83 |
Beware though, signing these ageing players can bolster your team for a season or two, but their ratings will decline steadily.
Wonderkids
Picking young players up on the cheap can be a great way to make money for your club in the future, and develop your squad in the process!
The teenagers on our list are currently valued at £5 million or less, so you should be able to sign them easily.
Newly added stars like Warren Zaire-Emery and Rico Lewis represent incredible value, with these young stars able to show towards the 90 overall mark.
English stars Carney Chukwuemeka and Dane Scarlett also look set to be promising players, although their summer transfers may put any move in jeopardy!
Name | Club | Value | Rating | Potential |
---|---|---|---|---|
Noah Mbamba | Club Brugge | £1.5m | 64 | 88 |
Carney Chukwuemeka | Chelsea | £1.5m | 64 | 86 |
Dane Scarlett | Portsmouth (on loan) | £1.5m | 64 | 86 |
Arda Guler | Fenerbahce | £2m | 66 | 86 |
Luka Romero | Lazio | £2m | 66 | 86 |
Warren Zaire-Emery | PSG | £4.7m | 71 | 88 |
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens | Borussia Dortmund | £4m | 70 | 87 |
Rico Lewis | Manchester City | £3.8m | 70 | 87 |
Of course, when signing any wonderkid you need to develop them carefully in order for them to reach their peak potential, meaning it's vital you play your cards right if you manage to snap up one of these young stars.
Contract Expiry
If you are patient enough to wait until January, you can sign players for free if there are six months or less left on their contracts.
Some huge names will see their contracts expiring in 2023, including one of the very best from their generation, Lionel Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo was in the same boat before his move to Saudi Arabia, meaning the Portuguese powerhouse is no longer available on a free-agent basis.
Players like N'Golo Kante, and Jan Oblak could be signings that offer more longevity, with Leicester's Youri Tielemans the standout star who can quickly cement himself as an integral part of your squad.
The wages for these players will be high, but you will make up for that by paying no transfer fee to sign some of the game's best players.
Name | Club | Rating | Value | Wages |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lionel Messi | PSG | 92 | £59.8m | £249k |
N'Golo Kante | Chelsea | 90 | £86m | £198k |
Jan Oblak | Atletico Madrid | 89 | £75.7m | £86k |
Karim Benzema | Real Madrid | 91 | £64m | £450k |
Davide De Gea | Manchester United | 87 | £42m | £150k |
Ilkay Gundogan | Manchester City | 85 | £44m | £185k |
Youri Tielemans | Leicester City | 83 | £45m | £105k |
