Whilst football remains unpredictable, the exponential growth of transfer prices has remained constant.
As a result, you'll want to utilise your Career Mode budget wisely - this allows you to sign top talents for a smaller club or make room for a blockbuster signing at a big club.
Luckily for you, RealSport is here to offer a helping hand, bringing you the ten top bargains on FIFA 20's Career Mode.
How to choose the best bargains in FIFA 20 Career Mode
Unlike our other Career Mode buying guides, there are no set parameters for the following list of players. Instead, we have defined bargains as players who are exceptionally cheap with high potentials, or well-established talents whose price is far below what you'd expect to pay.
For a full list of ALL the best bargains on Career Mode, look at the table at the end of the second page.
Gianluigi Buffon (OVR 83 - POT 83)
Age: 41
Position(s) : GK
Club: Piemonte Calcio
Country: Italy
Cost: £3.9 million
Wage: £52,000 a week
The Italian veteran may be 41 years old, but he still offers a world class output, with 91 GK positioning and 80 GK reflexes. Buffon is well and truly in the twilight years of his career and therefore may even retire before you get the chance to sign him.

Your best bet is to go in for him in January 2020 with a bid of £3.9 million and a wage of £60,000 a week. He may only last one more season, but a goalkeeper of Buffon's calibre for such a small price is a deal you can't pass up on.

Age: 38
Position(s) : GK
Club: FC Porto
