SKIPPER - Neuer is a bargain buy in FIFA 23

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.

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.

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.
