If you have a tight budget and are looking to make the most out of your money by recruiting the best bargain players in Football Manager 21, then we’ve got you covered with this guide where we’ll list down Football Manager 2021 Top Bargain Players for Each Position in the game.
Football Manager 2021 Top Bargain Players
Before we jump into the lists of the top bargain players for each position in Football Manager 2021, let’s talk about the best overall bargain players and what makes them so good.
Dani Gómez
Value: 3.8M
Dani Gómez is one of Levante’s best players, with 8 league goals in his last season.
This striker is only 22 years old, but he already has excellent stats, which can improve further as he gets more experience.
Despite his impressive stats, he’s only valued at 3.8M, so he’s a very budget-friendly player.
Antonio Sanabria
Value: 3M
Antonio Sanabria was a wonderkid in the previous game in the franchise and was expected to become one of the most impressive budget strikers in the game.
This expectation came to fruition as he’s proven himself as an excellent striker while playing for Real Betis, and he’s gained a value of 3M at 25 years of age.
This value still isn’t much considering how talented he is, so he’s another great cheap striker for you to consider.
Erik Sviatchenko
Value: 1.5M
If you’re in need of a cheap center back, then look no further than Erik Sviatchenko.
This 28 year-old is signed to FC Midtjylland and he plays at an elite level. He’s valued at 1.5M and he doesn’t demand a high wage, so he’s the go-to bargain center-back.
Gavi
Value: 3.9M
Gavi is a 16 year-old prodigy who plays as a center midfielder for Barcelona U19.
You may think 3.9M is too much for a player his age, but his value will steadily go up as he continues to gain experience.
You should buy this wonderkid as soon as you can, or you’ll end up regretting it later on.
Paul Akouokou
Value: 2.6M
Paul Akouokou is signed to Real Betis and is currently playing in the LaLiga Santander as a defensive midfielder. His excellent defensive abilities fully make him worth his 2.6M fee release clause.
Lewie Coyle
Value: 1.5M
Lewie Coyle takes the spot as the best cheap right back in the game. He’s valued at a measly 1.5M, but if you take a look at his stats, you’d think he’s a much more expensive player.
Signing foreign players has become much harder due to the post-Brexit work permit rules, so you should sign Coyle as soon as you can.
