It's a fairly basic change, but one that could be used with great significance. Free agents can be signed outside of the transfer window. A mid-season horror injury or failing tactic system doesn't have to be the end of the world, with a stop-gap signing available to be picked up to ease your worries. No longer are loans a simple case of "here, borrow our player for a year." They're growing more complex year-on-year, and FIFA is keeping up with the trends. Short-term loans can be six month deals, while there's also an option for two-year loan switches, perfect if you're wanting a long, settled development program for a talented youngster.
