Football Manager 2011 Shortlist: Best Free Players

Hello folks! I did some scouting work today, part of it for my Vauxhall Motors game but most of it was in order to compile a shortlist with the very best free players available in Football Manager 2011! I did some searching and scouting and the result is a shortlist of 29 free players that could be well worthy of a contract in a decent Premier League or Championship side. There are loads of free players available but I did my best to select the most competitive of the bunch.

Before listing the players you must know that these players were found on a test game with all English leagues selected and a large database. You will find next to each player’s name the contract that he would want, you can always get one of these players for less but since they are chased by many clubs I guess you could end up paying even more. On another quick note, the players will be presented with the very best ones for each role coming first. Let’s get it going then:
