FC 27 career mode bargains

A bargain is not the cheapest player in the game: it is the one who gives you the most rating for each euro you spend. In career mode that is usually an experienced player, rated as well as men twice his price, whose value has started to fall with age while his rating has not.

The lists below rank players by overall per euro of estimated value at three levels, so a club hunting for an 80-rated starter and one filling a squad with 70s both find their best deals. Everyone is 32 or younger, so you still get a few seasons out of the signing.

Use the rating gap as leverage: a club will often take less than the value for a player in his thirties, and the wage, not the fee, is often the real cost.
