Here is my latest transfer list, and it’s the best list in the league. A few things:
—As in the past, my list isn’t a dumping ground for players I no longer want. To be clear, I might do without a few of them, but I can also keep the vast majority for next season and be just fine. Hence why I consider this the best transfer list in the league.
—You’ll excuse the order, but I wold tell you to have a look at the full list.
—I‘ve added prices this year, but as always, everything is negotiable. Curious about an asking price? Just ask. Prefer another price? I’m open to all offers. Prefer to swap players instead? Cash, players or both are just fine.(X) = Championship eligible
(21) = U21 eligible(X) Player: James Garner
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 24
CA/PA: 138/160
Position: CM/DM/RB
Current club: Everton
Transfer rumors: Manchester United
Notes: The former Man Utd academy prospect has really settled down with Everton as the team’s best player and having signed a new contract despite interested from United in bringing him back. The way he’s playing though I wouldn’t rule out a bigger club coming in for him soon enough. Despite never getting a chance with United, he’s only ever proven himself first with Forest and now with the Toffees. Generally a CM/DM who is good on both sides of the ball as he’s a good passer but also puts in the defensive work. In fact, as we go into March he’s 2nd in tackles and 3rd in interceptions in the Premier League who says a lot and puts him in the company of the likes of Caicedo. He’s also done quite well at RB as needed. The sum of all of this has him rumored to be in line for an England call for the 2026 World Cup. I would expect a notable upgrade with FM27.(X) Player: Alexander Sorloth
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 30
CA/PA: 150/152
Position: ST
Current club: Atletico Madrid
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Very, very underrated striker including by FM and even myself until a year or so ago. Quick, powerful and a striker who can score from distance or in the box. 43 goals in 35 La Liga starts the last two seasons which is an incredible record. For Atletico Madrid in the league he has 9 goals in less than 15 matches worth of minutes and 5 goals in less than 6 matches worth of minutes in the CL. Perhaps just as impressive, 5 goals in 8 World Cup Qualifiers for Norway, who are considered a side who could cause trouble in the upcoming World Cup, and that’s with him at times being played out on the wings no less. An excellent candidate for a Championship starting role or even for a Prem side, especially if you need a reliable backup. We’ve all been hit by the injury bug. 29 years old when FM26 came out and they’re still upgrading him with room for yet another upgrade.Player: Fabian Ruiz
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 29
CA/PA: 160/164
Position: CM, DM, AMC
Current club: PSG
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: One of Spain’s best players during their Euro 24 win and he put up very good numbers during PSG’s big season last season. 4 goals and 5 assists in the league in less than 22 matches worth of minutes. 1 goal and 4 assists in less than 13 matches worth of minutes in the CL. 3 goals and 1 assist in five matches worth of minutes at the Club World Cup. Then you had the 2 goals and 2 assists for Spain in the last Euro. All of those competitions were won by PSG or Spain too.. Versatile midfielder, but best suited as a CM. This is your chance to get a Premier level midfielder. 29 years old and got an upgrade.(X) Player: Manuel Locatelli
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 27
CA/PA: 152/154
Position: DM, CM
Current club: Juventus
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Very experienced and well-rounded midfielder who is just entering his prime. He’s both good on the ball, but also defensively. A mainstay of the Juventus midfield after rejecting Arsenal a few years back, you’d think he’s over 30 years old when in fact he is only 28. Yeah, 28 and he got an upgrade with FM26. In addition to his strong technical attributes like passing, first touch, and tackling he also has strong mental attributes. 18 penalty taking, 18 leadership, 16 vision, 16 work rate, 16 technique, 15 passing, 15 first touch, 15 dribbling, 15 finishing, etc, etc, etc. Great candidate for your Prem or Ch side..(X) Player: Bryan Zaragoza
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 24
CA/PA: 146/162
Position: LW, RW
Current club: AS Roma on loan from Bayern Munich
Transfer rumors: Roma have an option adn potential obligation to buy. Move happened in January window. He was already on loan at Celta Vigo, but they can’t compete financially with an AS Roma..
Notes: Yes, that PA is still correct and he’s only 24 and despite being on loan last seaon he still got a notable upgrade. A very skilled winger who can cover either flank, he’s perfect for any Championship side or as a backup for a Prem side. Never got a chance with Bayern, he’s on his second loan spall back in La Liga and yet again is producing with 2 goals and 4 assists in only 13 matches worth of minutes. 18 dribbling, 18 flair, 17 first touch, 17 technique, 16 acceleration, 16 agility, 15 pace… just wait until they get his passing attributes right. Already with Roma he has an assist in less than 90 minutes of play.(21) Player: Claudio Echeverri
Price: 5.000.000
Age: 19 (2006)
CA/PA: 126/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC, LW, RW
Current club: Girona on loan from Man City)
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Very good technical midfielder who is a top 2 prospect from Argentina and one of the top prospects in World football. He was already a starter for RIver Plate when Man City bought him. Played in the Club World Cup for City and registered an assist in the only 45 minutes he played. Dubbed “the next Messi”, he’s one of two Argentinian youngsters who actually looks worthy of the tag. At minimum he should get a notable upgrade with the next FM and would be a big player for you U21 side.(21) Player: Kendry Paez
Price: 5,000,000
Age: 18 (2007)
CA/PA: 120/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC, CM
Currrent club: Chelsea
Transfer news: N/A
Notes: One of the top prospects from South America and the top prospect from Ecuador. He’s already got a lot of experience at 18 having played in Ecuador and now L1 in France. He’s also been capped by Ecuador. After Estevao, he is Chelsea’s premier youth signing of recent years.Plenty of years left for your U21 side unless of course he gets too good and you have to promote him.(21) Player: Isaac Babadi
Price: 1,000,000
Age: 20 (2005)
CA/PA: 128/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC, CM, LW
Current club: Royal Antwerp on loan from PSV Eindhoven
Transfer news: N/A
Notes: One of the top Dutch prospects out there right now and arguably the most technically gifted. He’s been an FM Wonderkid for a few years now. He may need to leave PSV eventually as they aren’t the best at promoting people. Very much an attacking minded midfielder, he’s a strong dribbler and a good passer. Still two seasons left of U21 eligibility.(21) Player: Alvaro Rodriguez
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 21 (2004)
CA/PA: 130/156
Position: ST
Current club: Elche
Transfer news: Real Madrid still have a buyback option
Notes: One of the top young strikers to come out of South America, the player has an impressive physical profile. He’s also technically proficient. He’s getting top division minutes with Elche this season despite some early rotation he’s essentially now a starter. And he’s putting up numbers with 5 goals and 4 assists in only 12matches worth of minutes having scored against Madrid and Barca while providing an assist against Atletico Madrid. Big reason why newly promoted Elche are in the top half of La Liga.(21) Player: Oscar Gloukh
Price: 5.000.000
Age: 21 (2004)
CA/PA: 130/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC/CM
Current club: Ajax
Transfer news: N/A
Notes: Fresh off a move to Ajax, Oscar Gloukh doesn’t seem to be missing a beat with his new team in a new league after doing very, very well with Red Bull Salzburg. That means it’s season three in a row where he’s performing and putting up good numbers. 8 goals and 6 assists in less than 20 matches worth of minutes for Ajax so for, with 3 of the goals and 1 of the assists coming in hte Champion’s League. Thaft’s after 11 goals and 8 assists with Salzburg last season and 9 goals and 18 assists the season prior.(21) Player: Andrija Maksimovic
Price: 5.000.000
Age: 18 (2007)
CA/PA: 116/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC, AMR
Current club. RB Leipzig
Transfer new: N/A
Notes: Only 18, he bypassed the customary stop at Salzburg and went straight to Leipzig. Little surprise as he had 3 goals and 5 assists in only 10 matches worth of minutes in the Serbian premier league. He also got a full CL campaign under his belt in the process, so i’t’s little wonder Leipzig picked him up already. Three full seasons of U21 eligibility with him.(X) Player: Mikel Oyarzabal
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 28
CA/PA: 156/168
Position: LW/AMC/ST
Current club: Real Sociedad
Transfer rumors: FC Barcelona (even now, again)
Notes: Very experienced and well-rounded attacking player such that he has had a good La Liga career and is now a starter for Spain having won the Euro. Another player you’d think is over 30 with the career he’s had, but still a ways from him to go. His FM26 profile is incredibly strong across numerous attributes. Great candidate for your Prem or even you Ch side. 10 goals and 3 assists in only 20 league matches this season with Real Sociedad finally just now getting a new manager, so you can extrapolate where he’ll finish the season. That’s not to mention 6 goals and 4 assists in only 6 World Cup qualifiers for Spain.(X) Player: Martin Baturina
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 22
CA/PA: 130/152
Position: CM/AMC
Current club: Como
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: One of the top young midfielders out there, including one of the top 2 from Croatia. 6 goals and 13 assists in the league season before last and 4 goals and 10 assists last season. Got another upgrade in FM24. Rejected a move to Leeds, but got a move to Como this last transfer window in what seems a move to protect against losing Nico Paz. Until then, Cesc is finally playing them together and Baturina is up putting up numbers with 3 goals and 3 assists in his last 4 matches. Mark my words, he’ll get CA AND PA upgrade with FM27.(X) Player: Pablo Torre
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 22
CA/PA: 142/FM Wonderkid
Position: CM/AMC
Current club: Mallorca
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Very good technical midfielder who can play at CM or AMC. He had a very good season with Barca last term despite limited minutes. 3 goals and 1 assist in less than 4 matches worth of minutes shows his quality and he really should have played more than he did. Made a move to Mallorca this past offseason and he’s already a starter and has an assist. Would be a very good option for the future of your Prem or Ch side.(X) Player: Aleix Garcia
Price: 3.000.000
Age; 28
CA/PA: 142/148
Position: CM/DM
Current club: Bayer Leverkusen
Transfer rumors: Atletico Madrid, West Ham
Notes: Got a MASSIVE upgrade with FM24 and still got an upgrade with the update and yet again another upgrade with the FM25 update. One of Girona’s most important players his last season there and a big reason why they were winning the league for a long stretch and landed a CL spot. Heavily linked with a move to Barcelona and probably would have been bought in January were in not for Barca’s finances, Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen snapped him up last Summer. After Alonso’s exit, he was linked with a move following his manager to Madrid as well as to other sides, but in the end Leverkusen kept him after they made other player sales. Very good deep lying playmaker who would be a good addition to your Prem or Ch sides. 16 passing, 16 vision, 16 free kick taking, 16 corners, 15 first touch, 15 crossing, 15 teamwork, etc.(X) Player: Adrien Truffert
Price: 3.500.000
Age: 23
CA/PA: 142/154
Position: LB/LWB
Current club: Bournemouth
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: A very underrated LB who has already has a lot of experience. Bournemouth snapped him up after offloading Kerkez on Liverpool this Summer, so a good sign the player is the real deal. Better in attack than defense, but still well-rounded he’s a good crosser. Already one of Bournemouth’s most important players in just his first season in the EPL.(X) Player: Joao Mario
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 25
CA/PA: 140/148
Position: RWB/RB
Current club: Juventus
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Not a big surprise, Joao Mario has secured his give move to Juventus this past Summer. A very attack minded RB/RWB who is not only a good crosser but also a good dribbler. He’s got a nice turn of pace as well. He had good experience in Portugal with Porto to go along with good numbers if you extrapolate. He already has an assist for Juventus in the CL this season. As you’re probably aware, a real dearth of quality RBs out there.(X) Player: Oscar Mingueza
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 26
CA/PA: 148/150
Position: RB/RWB/CB
Current club: Celta Vigo
Transfer rumors: FC Barcelona, Juventus, Aston Villa, Newcastle, West Ham
Notes: Very versatile defender, he’s a former La Masia talent who has even been linked with a return to Barcelona. One of the best RBs in La Liga since joining Celta and probably the best passing RB in the league to boot. Last season he had 4 goals and 6 assists in the league alone, and yes, that was as a RB. Compare to the other RBs/RWBs out there. Very good option for your Ch side or even your Prem side, and we all know there’s a dearth of RBs out there. I expected a big upgrade with FM26 and he got it. Now his contract is expiring with Celta and could very well end up at Juventus or even back with Barca, both of who he’s been linked with.(X) Player: Juan Miranda
Price: 2.500.00
Age: 25
CA/PA: 138/142
Position: LB/LWB
Current club: Bologna
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: A very underrated LB such that I underrated him even though he was a La Masia kid. Better in attack than defense, but very well-rounded. Pretty sizable LB too. He’s played a lot for Spain’s youth teams. Was a regular for Real Betis and linked with AC Milan, but new Serie A high flyers Bologna snapped him up last Summer. The move paid off for both the player and the club as he had 6 assists in only 2/3 of the league season.(X) Player: Joey Veerman
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 26
CA/PA: 144/146
Position: CM/DM
Current club: PSV Eindhoven
Transfer rumors: Brentford this past Summer, but United and Liverpool in the past
Notes: Brentford made two bids for him late this Summer and were warded off from a third as PSV again wanted to hold on to their player. Veerman is essentially a guaranteed starter for them. Still only 26, he’s had inter60 assists in the last five Eredivisie seasons. He’s been a top 3 Eredivisie player if not the league’s best player in the last three seasons. 17 free kicks, 17 corners, 17 passing, 17 vision, 16 long shots, 16 determination… Perfect for any Championship side.(X) Player: Florentino Luis
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 26
CA/PA: 140/146
Position: CM/DM
Current club: Burnley on loan from Benfica
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Graduate of the famed Benfica youth academy, I’m sure Mourinho wishes Benfica had kept him. A good DM with a very solid passing game to go with his defensive attributes. No surprise Burnley picked him up considering their defensive prowess last season and he’s been one of their best players this season. As of Feb 12,2026 he is 3rd in the Premier League in tackles and tied 7th in the Premier League in interceptions.(21) Player: Williot Swedberg
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 21 (2004)
CA/PA: 136/160
Position: CM, AMC, AML, AMR
Current club: Celta Vigo
Transfer rumors: VFB Stuttgart
Notes: One of Sweden’s top young talents, Swedberg is already well experienced with his time at Celta. On top of that, he put up good numbers. In his rookie season he scored 5 goals in only 5 matches worth of minutes. Then last season he had 4 goals and 5 assists in 15 matches worth of minutes. I’ve seen him dubbed the Swedish Frank Lampard, but IMO he’s a bit more of an attacking midfielder. That said, he’s very versatile and can play multiple positions. Back at it again this season, he’s got 7 goals and 2 assists in only 12 matches worth of minutes, which includes a brace against Real Madrid, a goal against Athletic Bilbao, etc.(21) Player: Sergey Pinyaev
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 21 (2004)
CA/PA: 126/FM Wonderkid
Position: LW, RW
Current club: Lokomotiv Moscow
Transfer rumors: Man United, Man City, Chelsea
Notes: From what I can tell, one of the top two Russian prospects at the moment. He can play either wing and is an excellent dribbler. If he wasn’t injured for part of last season he’d likely have moved already. He’s played 2/3 of the season each of the last two seasons and put up good numbers with 3 goals and 4 assists and then 5 goals and 7 assists respectively.(X) Player: Daniel Braganca
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 26
CA/PA: 136/146
Position: CM, DM, AMC
Current club: Sporting Lisbon
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: A former FM Wonderkid who has evolved into a good midfielder. A left-footed option at that, he put up 4 goals and 6 assists in barely half a season last season. He has plenty of strong attributes as well, 16 vision, 16 passing, 16 technique, 17 composure, 15 first touch, 15 teamwork, 14 dribbling, 14 crossing, etc. 77 minutes back from injury in the league and he already has 3 goals including a match-winner.(21) Player: Joao Veloso
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 20 (2005)
CA/PA: 112/FM Wonderkid
Position: CM, AMC
Current club: Benfica
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Another top talent from Benfica’s famed youth system. He’s already represented Portugal at youth levels for some time. Just a matter of time before he’s playing for the first team for Benfica and likely a full Portuguese international in the future.(21) Player: Lovro Zvonarek
Price: 2.000.000
Age: 20 (2005)
CA/PA: 116/FM Wonderkid
Position: CM, AMC
Current club: Bayern Munich
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: One of the top Croatian prospects, he’s been dubbed the next Luka Modric. Quite possibly the next Bayern youth product to make the first team. He had 6 goals and 6 assists in 16 matches with Bayen’s second team and has been called up to practice with the first team before.(X) Player: Luciano Rodriguez
Price: 1.500.000
Age: 22
CA/PA: 126/140
Position: AMR, AML, AMC, ST
Current club: Neom
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Another South American Wonderkid, his journey first landed him in Brazil. He’s since been snapped up by the Saudi Pro League where much like Brazil he’s already posting numbers with 3 goals and 2 assists in only 12 matches worth of minutes. I’m pretty sure he’ll be in Europe before too long, but I’m more sure he’ll be a part of the Uruguayan NT in the future.(21) Player: Noah Darvich
Price: 4.000.000
Age: 19 (2006)
CA/PA: 106/FM Wonderkid
Position: CM, AMC
Current club: VfB Stuttgart
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Stuttgart just snapped him up from Barca.I think he’s still a Barca player if they didn’t need the money or have so many top tier midfielders ahead of him, but Stuttgart will be a good move for the player. In fact, it’s already paying dividiends as he already has 3 goals and 1 assist in about 8 matches worth of minutes. He’s also done quite well with the German NT at youth levels including at the U17 World Cup. Definitely looks like a future member of the German NT.(21) Player: Saimon Bouabre
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 19 (2006)
CA/PA: 106/FM Wonderkid
Position: AMC, AML, CM
Current club: Al-Hilal
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: He may have just moved to Saudi Arabia, but he’s still a top French prospect. In fact, he got to the U20 World Cup late for France, helped them get to the Semis with a brace and the match-winner in the QFs, missed the SF and then France were knocked out. While a move to Saudi Arabia is generally not a move I would call a good move, the player said it was down to playing time which he’s getting there. I would expect a return to Europe in the next couple of years, meanwhile he’ll likely still feature for France at youth levels. Anyway, a very good playmaker who is an excellent dribbler. And he’s just been snatched up from Saudi club Neom by arguably the biggest Saudi club Al-Hilal.Player: Andriy Lunin
Price: 3.000.000
Age: 26
CA/PA: 156/160
Position: GK
Current club: Real Madrid
Transfer rumors: Tottenham
Notes: One of the top backup GKs in the game and one who should really be at another club as he’d surely be a starter. He’s done quite well filling in for Courtios at every opportunity. My guess is he gets a notable FM upgrade the day he moves on from Madrid, but he’s still getting upgrades all the same.(X) Player: Arnau Martinez
Price: 2.500.000
Age: 22
CA/PA: 138/156
Position: RB, RWB, CB, CM, DM
Current club: Girona
Transfer rumors: Manchester United
Notes: A very good young attacking RB who can cover multiple positions. Linked with Man Utd, but he’s been strongly linked with Barcelona in the past. Arguably Girona’s best player he’s been a astalwart for the club despite only being 22. I think he’ll factor in the Spanish NT in the near future. Until then, he’s already proving himself in multiple positions for Girona.(X) Player: Maxime Esteve
Price: 2.500.000
Age: 23
CA/PA: 136/152
Position: CB
Current club: Burnley
Transfer rumors: Tottenham Hotspur
Notes: A really good looking physical profile as he’s quite tall but also has pace. He’s also a left-footed CB to boot and a competent passer. Arguably Burnley’s player of the season during their promotion year, they were a defensive powerhouse who went 12 straight without giving up a goal and Esteve was a big part of that.(21) Player: Paulo Iago
Price: 500.000
Age: 18 (2007)
CA/PA: 88/N/A
Position: AMC, AMR, CM
Current club: Sporting LIsbon
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Considered a jewel of Madrid’s La Fabrica youth setup, he scored 150 goals in 5 years there. The writing is on the wall with regards to Madrid canteranos and is he moved on to Sporting Lisbon while being linked with Sporting Lisbon. Only 18, but 16 determination, 16 flair and 15 technicuqe.(21) Player: Gianluca Prestianni
Price: 3.500.000
Age: 19 (2006)
CA/PA: 126/148
Position: RW, AMC, LW
Current club: Benfica
Transfer rumors: N/A
Notes: Dubbed “the next Messi”, despite being an Argentine wonderkid, you can see the comparison considering how he dribbles. His profile has dropped a bit since he left Argentina, but he’s still scoring the occasional golazo demonstrating he’s still got it. 18 determination, 16 bravery 15 dribbling, 15 vision, 15 work rate, 15 agility.
