But to save you some time, we've already made a list of the best free agents on FM23.
Best Football Manager 2023 free agent goalkeepers
Name | Position | Age |
---|---|---|
Fabricio | GK | 34 |
Ruben | GK | 38 |
Ernestas Setkus | GK | 37 |
Benjamin van Leer | GK | 30 |
Renan Ribeiro | GK | 32 |
At 34 years young, Fabricio is no spring chicken, but he's probably the best of the goalkeeping options available on the new game.
Having been a back-up at Fulham in recent years, he would certainly welcome the chance to keep goal as a first choice option at this late stage in his career.

Santiago Arias | RB | 30 |
Salif Sane | CB | 31 |

Elaquim Mangala | CB | 31 |
Jetro Willems | LB | 28 |
Adriano | LB | 37 |
Daniel Carrico | CB | 33 |
Mateo Musacchio | CB | 31 |
Former Atletico Madrid defender Santiago Arias deserves his place at the top of this list.
Eliaquim Mangala is a surprisingly good player to be available still in what should be the peak years of his career at 31.
Former Newcastle man Jetro Willems is probably the pick of the left-backs on the list, but has suffered with injury problems.

Havard Nordtveit | DM | 32 |
Filipe Augusto | CM | 28 |
Former Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele is the pick of the players available on this list but is set to retire at the end of the calendar year.
Of the more defensive-minded midfielders, former Benfica player Filipe Augusto is probably the pick of the bunch.

Out wide, ex-Brighton man Jose Izquierdo could have a lot to offer should you be able to keep him fit.
