Best upcoming Free Agents in FIFA 15

Once you start a season in FIFA, the January transfer window is key to your season. How critically are you able to address the shortcomings in your squad’s depth is what decides how strong you’ll end the season. That is when the free agents come into the picture, the ones who’ll be running out of contract in 6 months from the start of the season. For smaller sized clubs, this is a great way to compete with the bigger teams. Here are the best upcoming free agents in FIFA 15.

#1 Salvatore Sirigu

OVERALL : 84Position : GKClub : PSGWage Cost : $230,000

To be honest, this is a real bargain. Sirigu has well-eshtabilished himself as one of the best shot-stoppers around. He is quite consistent in his performances and has proved to be an unsung hero for PSG. The italian is very-much reliable and overall, a solid goalkeeper whom you cannot deny. Surely not when he’s available for free.

#2 Gary Cahill

OVERALL : 81Position : CBClub : ChelseaWage Cost : $150,000

Gary Cahill has been deployed in the Chelsea and England defense more often than not. Apart from his defensive capabilities, he also serves as an aerial threat with his height and heading prowess. He might not be one of the best but isn’t too far either. For weaker squads, he could be a great addition while for stronger ones, a reliable back-up. He is free this winter in FIFA 15. Make sure to grab him as soon as possible.

#3 Mikel Arteta

OVERALL : 80Position : CDMClub : ArsenalWage Cost : $130,000

Arteta is a class midfielder. He loves knocking the ball around, looking for spaces and holes to pick out that beautiful pass. However, he has lost his pace and tenacity with time and has gone down the pecking order at Arsenal. Still, he can prove to be a great addition in central midfield to your squad. Agreed he is 32 already but that will matter less if wages are all that will concern you while you sign him. No transfer fees!

#4 Andre Ayew

OVERALL : 78Position : LMClub : MarseilleWage Cost : $100,000

Andre Ayew is one of the most hardworking wingers in the game. He is fast, agile and does not seem to stop ever. For fringe teams, he could prove to be a game-changer with his pace and skills. He did really well in the world cup and you can always hope him to recapture that form for your team. Watchout for the man from Ghana in January.

#5 James Milner

OVERALL : 78Position : RMClub : Manchester CityWage Cost : $120,000

James Milner will demand a pretty high wage, but is such an useful asset to any team. He has a very good physical presence and is quick at the same time. Since he will be on the bench most of the time due to the presence of Silva and Navas, it will be pretty easy to tempt him away from Etihad.

#6 Stefan Reinartz

OVERALL : 78Position : CDMClub : Bayer 04Wage Cost : $110,000

A very versatile player who can be deployed as a central midfielder or even as a central defender. At 25 years of age, he is a young prospect and can serve you for a long time at a higher level. So don’t miss out on a chance to sign this German from Bayer Leverkusen.

#7 Andrea Ranocchia

OVERALL : 77Position : CBClub : Inter MilanWage Cost: $120,000

Ranocchia would be a good signing even if he wasn’t available for free. Well, if he is, you cannot let him get away. He is a no-nonsense defender and prioritises his defensive duties over anything and everything else. He is young and has good potential. He will be a good back-up for your first choice centre-backs, if not one of them himself.

#8 Jonathan

OVR: 77Pos: RMClub: Inter MilanWage Cost: $120,000

Fast. That is a word more or less sufficient to describe Jonathan. He surely isn’t in plans for Inter but can totally feature in yours if you’re looking to add pace, and a lot of it to your squad. The winger is a free agent in FIFA 15 in the January transfer window. Should be a good purchase.

#9 Alberto Paloschi

OVR: 75Pos: STClub: Chievo VeronaWage Cost: $70,000

Paloschi can prove to be a good addition in any squad. He seems more like a good substitute but could prove to be a key player for smaller teams or even for the big ones in case of an injury. He has all you need from a decent striker. Finishing, positioning and heading. This guy is a real poacher and its time for you to hunt him down once he is released by his club.

#10 Fabian Delph

OVR: 75Pos: CMClub: Aston VillaWage Cost: $75,000

Delph is a strong central midfielder who provides balance and stability to the side. He has good pace and stamina and is a real box-to-box midfielder – a must have for a team looking to find crucial links between attack and defense. He is young and has a long way to go. Can you get the best out of him?
