The realities of life with a newborn plus three other children have hit home, literally, and finding 90 minutes to watch a football match for our free agent scouting reports to get them out to you guys isn’t as easy as it was back in February!

However, why should that be a hurdle in getting some valuable information out to you as pro subscribers? Indeed, many of you are expert talent spotters and watchers of football yourselves, so often the value that we can provide here on the Hub is not always just the scout reports, but how we identified the players, and, of course, the players themselves.

That is what this piece of content is about.

The following is my favourite selection of players from the working free agents list that I think should be watched and assessed. I will also give a suggested level based on my experience, but obviously, without having watched enough video to give a definitive rating please take these with a pinch of salt.

One more note to mention here is all of these players will be over 24. The reason for that is because FIFA rules stipulate that a player aged 23 and under is subject to training compensation even if a contract hasn’t been offered by their club. So whilst thus may not be ideal for some clubs’ idea of squad building, it does ensure that these players are genuinely free.
