Conclusion

Top recommended signings (short-term stars) Rivaldo (Free Agent) – In 3

• Rivaldo (Free Agent) – In 3.9.68, Rivaldo starts the game as a free agent because his Barcelona contract expired. Yes. You can sign the 30-year-old Ballon d'Or winner for £0. He wants £100k/week wages, but he will give you two seasons of 20+ goals and 20+ assists. Unreal exploit.
• Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid) – The best left-back ever coded. Pace 20, Free Kicks 20, Long Shots 20. Score 10 goals a season from full-back. Costs a fortune (£40M), but worth every penny.
• Patrick Vieira (Arsenal) – If you want physical domination in midfield, Vieira is the answer. Strength 20, Tackling 20, Influence 19. He wins the ball and gives it to Källström. Perfect duo.
