Football Manager 2023 Bargain Buys

Football Manager 2023 has arrived across all major platforms, which means you can get started in your new career across PC, Xbox and, for the first time, PlayStation.

A key part of any FM save is the signings you make and not every team has the budget to break the bank on a regular basis.

With that in mind, we want to take you through the best bargain buys that you can snap up at the start of your save.

Football Manager 2023 Bargain Buys

Everyone loves a bargain and the stars listed below are certain to become stars for your side.

With tiny valuations not matching their large-scale capabilities, you shouldn't hesitate before moving for some of these superstars.

Dani Ceballos

CHEAP AND CLASSY - Ceballos won't cost the earth in FM23

Formerly of Arsenal and presently on the fringes at Real Madrid, Ceballos is arguably the best player you can sign for less than £10 Million in this year's game.

A wonderfully talented midfielder who possesses a great balance of stats, the only stumbling block will probably be his wage demands.

Marcus Thuram

SON OF A LEGEND - Thuram still has plenty to offer at the top

Son of French legend Lilian, Marcus is more attack-minded than his dad, but that hasn't led to great success as of yet.

Available for a measly fee of around £7 Million, this one-time wonderkid could still perform wonders and realise his full potential within your squad.

Josip Brekalo

Capped at international level and possessing more than enough ability to cause havoc for opposition defenders, Josip Brekalo is the perfect player to add to your team for a small fee.

Dangerous on the flank and certain to make an impact, this guy should firmly feature on your shortlist.

Borna Sosa

Another Croatian with plenty to prove is Stuttgart full-back Borna Sosa.

Possessing a good range of stats, this trustworthy defender would be a top addition to your squad for such a small fee.

Deyovaisio Zeefuik

Sticking with full-backs in Germany, another star that you can secure on a super cheap deal is Hertha Berlin outcast Deyovaisio Zeefuik.

A name larger than his transfer fee in Football Manager 2023, this 24-year-old still has plenty to offer in the beautiful game.

Daley Sinkgraven

SINK OR SWIM - Can you help revive this man's career?

A one-time FIFA wonderkid that never quite realised his full potential, Dalvey Sinkgraven is on the fringes at Bayer Leverkusen and could really do with a fresh start.

Capable of playing across multiple positions, Sinkgraven is an excellent utility option to have in your squad.

Thijs van Leeuwen

FUTURE STAR - You won't want to pass on this rising baller

Moving over to a bargain wonderkid, we highly recommend moving for Thijs van Leeuwen as a matter of urgency.

A dominating winger who can grow into something special, you won't regret the initial outlay of roughly £3 Million to sign this man.

Levi Lumeka

An English wonderkid playing for Ligue 1 Troyes, Levi Lukema is another cheap winger who could become a club legend.

Possessing a great array of stats and available for a minor fee at the start of Football Manager 2023, we think you'd be mad not to move for this guy.

Alexis Lefebvre

Our final option is a wonderkid striker, but this one does appear to be more of a gamble than the two mentioned above.

Another cheap youngster from Troyes, Lefebvre may be cheap, but he does have all the credentials to become a top star.
