I can't guarantee it but have a look at FMGames.net (I think).

How do free transfer databases work? All contracts cancelled and there's a mad rush to sign a squad full of players?

I've haven't played any of these, but I found them a couple of weeks ago when trying to find an update for FM 2008. Legends Database : sortitoutsi.net/2008/utilities/downloads/259/Legends%20DatabaseI did find another one, but I can't seem to find it now. It was set in 1991 and had Van Basten, Valderrama, Gascoigne etc. It had some images posted on the download page of the players as well. Hopefully this is the same one.

So I tried that free transfer database over the weekend. It's good fun signing your players, staff, etc. but I suspect I won't play any more because the AI clearly isn't designed to handle a situaion where the squad is empty. I assumed manager AI would have a thing along the lines of it analysing what positions the squad needed to fill, judging how much money they had and seeing what was available. Turns out they go, "Ooooh I have an empty squad and there are some awesome players available as free transfers. I'll sign 3!"
So while the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea only have like 4 players and the rest of the team is made up of reserves, my squad was this:
GK: Landreau, Hart RB: Alves, Sagna LB: Evra, Baines CB: Ferdinand, Terry, Squillaci, Lescott RM: Ribery, Ashley Young LM: Giggs, Nani CM: Iniesta, Scholes, Lassana Diarra, and a couple more FW: Rooney, Villa, Aguero, Owen
And my reserves have the likes of Walcott, Sahar, Nasri, etc. What's more, my squad could have been a lot, lot better than even that. The problem is that because all the players have had their histories erased they're desperate to get back into football so even the likes of Villa and Ferdinand you can get for very cheap.
As I said, it's great fun and I might play a few more games but ultimately I don't think it's going to be very satisfying.
