Have you started a save in FIFA Career mode? Are you running low on resources to hire reinforcements? Then this article will help you. In the list below, we’ve put together the best end-of-contract players in EA Sports FC 25.
This tactic is very useful – especially in the first season – because depending on the club you choose, you won’t have much of a budget.
The strategy is simple: just offer a player a pre-contract before his current contract expires. If he agrees to move, you’ll only spend money on the player’s wages (and any bonuses).
Bear in mind, however, that this method is not 100 per cent effective. The more famous a player is, the more difficult it becomes to recruit him at zero cost, because a big name won’t be left lying around on the market for nothing.
But rest assured: the method works. And to show you that this strategy can save lives, we’ve listed 100 end-of-contract players for you to try and recruit in the first season.
The contracts of the players below run out in 2025, so you can try to sign a pre-contract in the first or second transfer window.
And to make your job easier, we’ve divided the players up by position. We’ve included goalkeepers, centre-backs, right-backs, left-backs, midfielders, left-wingers, right-wingers and centre-forwards.
