Football Manager 2012 Best Cheap Players

Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:49 AM PST

Here is my list of the best cheap players in Football Manager 2012. I spend a lot time in search of good but cheap FM 2012 players. The list should be helpful for many gamers managing non-grand clubs because it contains players whose price values in not higher than 1 million US dollars.

So the list has the following properties and restrictions:

- All players have price <= $1M

- It contains more than 160 good cheap players.

- Players are grouped into tables by positions.

- Table columns describe the players by Name, Country, Age, Club, Value, Wage.

- Value and Wage are in US dollars ($).

- Every column is sortable.

- I used various player search methods to create the list: in-game player search, scouts, reading discussions of Football Manager 2012 players on forums.

- Each player was checked by me personally.

- I didn't create a shortlist file and am not going to dot that.

- Free players are reminded in the separate post: Free players list

Please don't forget that this list is extendable. If you know any Football Manager 2012 good player whose price is $1M or less, just write a comment about him. I will check and add him to the list if he is worth it. So this FM 2012 best cheap players list is growing continuosly, this is the reason why you would like to follow it every week.

Share the list with your friends! They'll be happy!
