A FREE AGENT XI could win the Premier League with a host of top names out of contract next summer.
With the new season fully underway, stars are now assessing their short and long-term options.
Clubs can start to offer pre-contracts to players from January, with the exception being Premier League clubs to other English top-flight aces.
And there could be a host of amazing transfers taking place at the end of the campaign.
Indeed, there are so many free agents available that they could easily make two starting XIs and challenge for top honours.
The first XI is packed with Premier League talent and even boasts several England internationals.

Man City wizard Kevin De Bruyne is a natural fit for the No10 position.
While he could have Liverpool’s Mo Salah and Al-Ahli’s Neymar on the wings, with Tottenham captain Son Heung-Min leading the line.

Fiorentina’s David de Gea earns a place in goal, with Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries and Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy at full-back.
Centre-back sees Bayern Munich’s Eric Dier and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah link up.
While midfield has Man City’s Ilkay Gundogan partnering Arsenal’s Thomas Partey.
A tasty front line sees Man Utd’s Amad Diallo slot in alongside Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi and Bayern’s Leroy Sane.
And that leaves Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo to go up top.
