Here is my list of free players in Football Manager 2012. I am posting it one day before the official FM 2012 release.

And I hope it will help you to get some decent players for free in the very start of your game. The free players list has several properties I should mention: - It contains around 150 best free players in FM 12. - All players are grouped by positions (GK, DMC, DL, etc.). - Every position group consists of 3 quality subgroups: Very Good, Good, Decent. As you understand the subgroups correspond to a relative player level. - Every players is described with the following data: Name, Age, Nation - Shortlist file is included (you can find a link at the bottom). IMPORTANT NOTE: The list is opened for any changes. Surely I missed good free players. So you are welcomed to remind me about them in the comments. I will appreciate your help! Share the list with your friends! They'll be happy!
