Smurf Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Just started a game with Barcelona for a bit of fun. While trawling the free transfers, I found a player called Pinga. I never heard of him before, 30 years old, free, and plays quite well. I presume it's this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Luciano_da_Silva What players have you signed at the start of a game that were free and turned out pretty awesome?

stemlfc Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ze Roberto is available at the start of the game for nothing and is still a world class player. His stamina is still high too. I picked him up for my HSV side and he was my player of the year when we finished 4th. Mamadhou Diarra is a player that you can pick up for nothing, but for the role he plays his stamina will cause a problem. A good backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ze Roberto is still a brilliant player in FM. I remember years ago I signed Nilmar on a free. I had never heard of him before that point. When I signed him, I had a couple world class strikers ahead of him so he rarely played. Even then he scored whenever I played him. I felt sorry so I loaned him to Roma for half a season. Within 2 months he was their top scorer. The kid was a beast....but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyryl.c Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've signed Rivaldo for Leeds United in the second season in FM 11. His physical attributes are crap, but he plays great as a trequartista. I'm not sure but I think he's a free player at the start of season in FM 12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Spiral Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Signed Owen Hargreaves for Bristol Rovers on a free. He may be injury prone and old, but he was twice as good as the rest of the squad and only on £3,000 a week wages! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Free players are great to sign for back ups to the main squad. Nice to have good experienced cover to give the main squad a rest. Thanks so far - this is a great help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgibson9999 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ioannis Amanatidis is a pretty decent free at the start 30 year old greek striker. A bit injury prone but in the game I signed him he had 24 goals in 17 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
