FC 24 has been played by millions for nearly six months now, and despite some early gameplay issues, fans around the world continue their journey in modes such as Ultimate Team, Clubs, and Career Mode.
Career Mode, in particular, has endured its fair share of problems since launch, but several Title and Squad Updates have kept players entertained, with new wonderkids and talents being added to the game on a regular basis.
Life as a manager in Career Mode isn't always plain sailing, with a number of challenges emerging along the way. One of which is working with a limited transfer budget, and if you find yourself in that exact scenario, this article will come in handy!
Best budget buys in FC 24
The wonderful thing about Career Mode is that players can start their managerial career anywhere, whether that's in the Premier League or the second tier of the Bundesliga.
Whilst starting at either end of the footballing pyramid is fun, beginning at the bottom can be a challenge. Working with a limited transfer budget is an obstacle managers often have to face in Career Mode and real life, requiring them to think carefully when it comes to recruitment.
In this article, we will take a look at some of the best players you can buy on a limited budget without breaking the bank. Although the choice of club is entirely yours, you won't always have endless amounts of money at your disposal, so being smart in the transfer market is sometimes the way to go.
With that in mind, the strategy must be focused on finding hidden gems that offer high potential and can be signed for a reasonable fee. Think of it as low risk and high reward!
Below, we've selected a mixture of players aged between 16-22 who shouldn't cost any more than £3.5 million if you play your cards right during negotiations, but bear in mind that their prices will rise if their overall increases, so acquiring them as soon as possible is ideal.
High potential budget buys
First up are players who can develop into world-class stars thanks to their high potential. Some of these are the most expensive out of all of the lists, but you are guaranteed to reap the rewards as their ratings grow.
Alternative budget buys
If the players above are slightly out of your price range, the following list contains some solid alternatives that maintain great potential.
Cheapest budget buys
Last but not least, some of the cheapest players available in FC 24 Career Mode. These will start off with a lower OVR, but we have only listed those with a minimum of 80 potential to ensure they can still reach a satisfactory level at your club.
