The Global Free Agent Challenge is back again this. Basically for those who have not heard of it: the players from the top leagues are all free agents and each club will have the same wage budget (2m) and 30m transfer budget (to accommodate agent fees) to build a team of superstars.
Unlike previous versions where there has been 1 database with the top European leagues having free agents, this year there will be a variety of databases.
Databases:
Premier League: https://www.sendspace.com/file/lp7lbw
Just the Premier league teams have free agents. Rooney, Kompany and Ozil all up for grabs so you can still make a decent team. Recommended for people who don?t have much computer space and want to try out the challenge.
Top 4 Leagues: https://www.sendspace.com/file/z2cyk4
Here the Premier League, Serie A, Liga BBVA and the Bundesliga all have free agents. A lot of top quality players on offer here and good for people with slow processes.
My favourite: https://www.sendspace.com/file/sqggx6
This is the one from previous FM?s. It consists of the Premier League, Serie A, Liga BBVA, Bundesliga, Primeira League, Ligue 1 and the Eredivisie.
Without managers: https://www.sendspace.com/file/fyzc1i
Basically the same as above but without managers. I noticed in previous FMs certain managers will sign certain types of players e.g. youngsters or players from a certain nation. Hopefully it will mix it up a bit!
The big one: https://www.sendspace.com/file/hn9c0u
As well as the above leagues it will include the Brazilian league, Russian League, Scottish League and the Championship.

Key advice and tips for this challenge:
Every club starts with 1.5 million for wage, this should be more than enough if you spend wisely so dont go offering huge contracts to players. You dont need to buy every world class player someone like Carrick will work for any top team at half the wages.
Watch out for players who put match highest earner, try to remove this from their contract - trust me it helps!
Make sure you sign a few home grown players otherwise you wont be able to compete in the leagues. Also make sure you sign home grown players trained at the club if you are aiming for Champions League!
Create a tactic and make a list of players who you want to sign, trust me theres nothing more annoying when you sign all these players and you miss someone you really want!
Set match preparation to very high on team cohesion.
Dont just sign first teamers, sign youngsters and reserve players. Players like Zouma, Wilshere and Draxler are available so dont miss out!
I recommend starting in June, it gives teams enough time to sign enough players! You dont have to do this but you might get unrealistic results for example Man United beat Bolton 9-2 and Arsenal beat Tottenham 6-2. Unless you are managing a team in Russia!
And don?t forget to register the players!
Have fun and post screenshots of your team and how well you are doing in the league!
A few people having being saying their team is full of regans you need to make sure the box 'Add players to playable leagues' is UNTICKED! Make sure you are also using the DEFAULT database!
