Football Manager 2021 (FM21) is widely regarded as a significant step up for the series, even being called a "world-beating sim" by reviewers from Eurogamer . While iterative, it focuses on quality-of-life improvements, a smoother match engine, and better optimization, making it one of the most accessible yet deep entries in the franchise. Key "Best Buys" for Your FM21 Save

: A former wonderkid turned reliable winger. For roughly £2.5m, you get a versatile attacker with 14+ ratings in finishing, pace, and work rate. He is described by The Football Faithful as a "guaranteed money-maker" even if he doesn't start every game.

: An incredible lower-league bargain. This 17-year-old striker can be picked up for as little as £21k–£76k. He boasts strong technicals like finishing and dribbling, making him a clinical option who can be sold for massive profit later.

: While he can be expensive, some players have managed to snap him up for as low as £5m in specific scenarios, offering elite-level pace and creativity for a fraction of his usual value.

: A perfect "rotation" signing for big clubs like Arsenal. As a free agent, he provides immediate physical presence and experience as a pressing forward without a transfer fee. Why FM21 is Worth the Buy
