The Best Global Transfer Network Instructions in FC 26 Career Mode

In the real world of football, scouting is everything. Clubs spend millions sending scouts to every corner of the world, searching for the next Messi, Bellingham or Haaland before they become household names. In FC 26 Career Mode, the Global Transfer Network (GTN) lets you hire scouts to do the same for your team, uncovering hidden gems, future stars and overlooked veterans who can transform your squad overnight.

In this guide, we’ll show you the best scout instructions to help you discover the next superstar for your Career Mode team.

1. Next-Gen Wonderkids

Best for finding: High-potential Wonderkids, Pregens and Regens

Young talent is the lifeblood of any Career Mode save. Scouting players aged under 21 can uncover future stars before the rest of the world notices them. These players may start small, but with the right guidance, they can become big stars in any team for years. Scouting in Asia, North and South America can also uncover hidden gems that most players never even consider.

2. Pre-Contract Deals

Best for finding: Players whose contracts expire within 6 months, Free Agents

Money isn’t everything, especially when some of the best players are available for free. By scouting players with six months left on their contracts, you can swoop in and sign top-tier talent without paying a transfer fee.

This instruction is also perfect for picking up free agents or stars who aren’t getting a contract renewal. Just remember, only players at least 23 years old or older can be signed on this pre-contract. It’s a smart way to add quality to your team without breaking the bank.

3. In Their Prime

Best for finding: Established world-class players

Sometimes you don’t want potential, you want Optimus Prime. Scouting for peak performers is all about finding players who can step in and make an impact immediately. These are the stars with top attributes, trophies and experience to change your squad from day one. Focusing on world-class players aged 16-28 means they’re at their best, old enough to be consistent, but young enough to give you several seasons of top-level football before they start to decline.

With the right scouts and the right instructions, your journey to discovering and making legends starts now.
