Football Manager 2012 Free Players

Do you play FM 2013? Then try out my list of Football Manager 2013 Free Players!

________________________________

Here is my list of free players in Football Manager 2012. I am posting it one day before the official FM 2012 release. And I hope it will help you to get some decent players for free in the very start of your game.
The free players list has several features I should mention:

- Based on Update 12.2.0
- It contains around 120 best free players in FM 12.
- All players are grouped by positions (GK, DMC, DL, etc.).
- Every position group consists of 3 quality subgroups: Very Good, Good, Decent. As you understand the subgroups correspond to a relative player level.
- Every players is described with the following data: Name, Age, Nation
- Shortlist file is included (you can find a link at the bottom).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The list is opened for any changes. Surely I missed good free players. So you are welcomed to remind me about them in the comments. I will appreciate your help!

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