Now I bet you are wondering what would be the best free transfer team you could make out of the list, now I’m not going to select players such as Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard as they are already moving to the MLS but we could easily make a Free Transfer XI with the players on offer, so without further ado here are the players I have chosen.
Yes looking at that side you can certainly see why these players have been released by their respective clubs, this has a relegation dogfight written all over it. Thank God I don’t have a season ticket to watch this side in action.
