We can’t all have the luxury of splashing out £50m or £60m on a backup right-back to bolster our squads on Football Manager 2023.
Many teams are strapped for cash these days and need to be smart about their signings, but there are plenty of bargains to be found on FM23 with a little digging.
Here’s a look at the best bargain signings for every position.
Small Budget – Alexander Nubel
Any seasoned FM player will be well aware of Nubel by this point. ‘Baby Manuel Neuer’ is out on loan with Monaco but Bayern Munich are prepared to sell him immediately for as little as £3.1m.
He’s 25 years old with excellent reflexes, and he’d be an excellent signing for a team on a budget.
Bigger budget – Ugurcan Cakir
£6.75m is an absolute steal for Cakir.
The Trabzonspor stopper is one of very few elite goalkeepers who represents a smart investment because of the fact he is just 26 years old and capable of leading your side for the next decade.
Small budget – Dani Alves
Alves may be 39 but he’s still good enough for one or two more years at the highest level.
The former Barcelona, PSG and Juventus man is available for just £775,000.
Bigger budget – Danilo
Danilo is one of the top right-backs on the game but his price tag of £7.5m would suggest otherwise.
To add to his appeal, Danilo is comfortable anywhere across the back line and would make a valuable squad addition as a result.

Now playing with Santos Laguna, his 15 heading and 14 tackling should be worth far more than the £1.4m it’ll take to sign him.
If your budget is even smaller than that, Cruz Azul’s Juan Escobar will cost you just £60,000.
Bigger budget – Nicolas Otamendi
With a current ability of 158, Otamendi is one of the best centre-backs on the game, but his age means he is available for as little as £3.5m.
The 34-year-old has 18 marking and 16 tackling and so can slot into any defence on the planet with real ease.
Small budget – Adria Pedrosa
Espanyol’s Adria Pedrosa will set you back just £3.1m initially and he’ll justify that very quickly.
He comes with the potential to grow into a top left-back, meaning you’ve either found your man for the future or you’ve made a quick profit.
Bigger budget – Javi Galan
In a world in which elite left-backs are hard to find without mortaging your future away, Galan is an absolute steal.
Valued at just £11.5m, you won’t find another player who offers anywhere remotely close to…
