9. Yossi Benayoun (Israel)

Yossi Benayoun 1Position: AMCRL/MRL Age: 33 Former Club: Chelsea The attacking midfielder who spent time at West Ham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League may be heading into his final years, but he is exactly the kind of luxury player who can add options in attack for teams with limited flair and creative influence. Benayoun is still a very technically strong player, having lost very little in his stats since his time at Chelsea (where he was largely a superfluous squad player in former versions of the game) and his value definitely comes in his ability to play the advanced playmaker role, and link up with the forward line (especially when supporting a lone striker and two wide wing forwards. It's best not to play a long ball game with him in your team, considering how he flourishes with the ball at his feet, and though he is 33, his comparatively low wages of under £16k make him one of the most affordable and valuable free options.
