Best free agents & contract expiry players explained

EA FC 24 Career Mode includes fairly accurate versions of actual contracts, meaning players who are nearing the end of their deal in real life will be available on the cheap in-game. Free agents are players without a club after their deal has expired, while contract expiry players have one year left.

After scouring through the game’s extensive database, we’ve put together a guide of the best free agents and contract expiry players to sign in EA FC 24 Career Mode.

Keep in mind that contract expiry players have changed since the game’s launch and the lists below reflect the players nearing the end of their contract at the time of writing.

For example, Manuel Neuer was considered a contract expiry player when EA FC 24 arrived, but the goalkeeper has since signed a one-year contract extension with Bayern Munich.

Making smart signings can only take you so far in EA FC 24 Career Mode. To get the best out of your players once they take to the pitch, make sure to use the best tactics and formations, as well as the best camera settings.
