FIFA 16: 10 Ways To Improve Manager Mode

10. Make Free Transfers More Competitive

A few years ago EA Sports introduced the idea of free agents to the FIFA series. For most transfer wheeler-dealers the Free Agent System was something of an aside, full of terrible players and a very rare gem who players could pick up for nothing and hope beyond hope that they would perform.

In FIFA 15, players were given the opportunity to sign players whose contracts were due to expire in six months. Seasoned players would have been delighted to be able to snatch up players like Real Madrid's Sami Khedira who were running their contracts down, but what about those who ended up on the free transfer list?

For some reason, FIFA 15 made it almost impossible to sign free agents with most, except 45-60 rated Macedonian internationals, snapped up by unlikely clubs within the first day of the transfer window. Anyone who tried to sign Angelo Henriquez on a free will have experience of this.

Introducing a system where players are able to bring in free agents on a trial basis might actually give meaning to those pointless pre-season Manager Mode friendlies and finally answer the question of whether Karanjit Singh can cut it on a rainy night against St. Etienne.

He probably can't.
