Teams with the biggest budgets at the start of their careers in Football Manager 2024

Football Manager is already a phenomenon and is played by gamers all over the world. In the 2024 release, it’s already clear which teams will have the biggest budgets to launch the game. Of course, careers playing for smaller teams are popular, but some people like to play for the world’s big clubs.

10) Chelsea – €22 million

The list is rounded off by Chelsea in London, who have been on a tear in recent transfer seasons, spending incredible amounts on new players. 22 million euros is not much, but if some more players are sold, it will be a very decent opening budget.

9) Athletic Bilbao – €25 million

The Basque club is the favourite of most players. In fact, only players of Basque nationality can transfer to the club, so it is very difficult to strengthen the team. There aren’t that many quality players in the game who fulfill this condition. In this case, the sum of 25 million euros will certainly be sufficient.

8) Leicester City – €25 million

The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League last season. In reality, they are very well on their way to a comeback. Leicester are likely to be one of the favourite teams in the new edition of FM. 25 million euros should be enough to expand the squad sufficiently to fight for promotion, after all the Championship schedule is very inflated and doubling posts here will really pay off.

7) Ajax – 35 million euros

The Dutch club are currently drowning at the bottom of the Eredivisie. Players will be able to try and manage this club and avoid those worries. The club is blazing a trail of young players, the initial budget is enough to bring in a few talents.

6) Everton – €36 million

Everton is one of the clubs that are in financial crisis, mainly because of the stadium redevelopment. Avoiding relegation with the club and then leading it to glory? An idea that doesn’t occur to one player. Working with a small budget is always a challenge.

5) Newcastle – 46 million euros

Newcastle have continued to perform excellently this season. Of course, it’s still not up for the title, even with the Citizens team appearing to be unbeatable. Taking the lead and winning the title, not only in the Premier League, may be the main goal of the group of players who decide to start a career for Newcastle. The budget from the beginning of the game will allow to bring 1 very interesting acquisition.

4) PSG – 80 million euros

Paris is one of the teams with the biggest budget in the whole world. It should be noted that a career for the French team revolves around the Champions League, as the Ligue 1 team wins almost single-handedly without anyone having to set any tactics.

3) Brighton – 81 million euros

The English club has sold some of its players very dearly over the last few years. A career for this team seems to be one of the most popular. Mainly due to the fact that Brighton play very attractive and interesting football for the eye of the fan. To overcome the obstacles in the Premier League and go for the title is the goal of the game.

2) Real Madrid – 90 million euros

Despite having bought Jud Bellingham for more than 100 million euros, the Madrid big club has a big budget. The aim of the game can be nothing else but to beat rival Barcelona and win all the trophies in Spain. Of course, success on the European stage in the Champions League is also a must.

1) Manchester City – 111 million euros

Not much money was spent in the blue part of Manchester over the summer. The club’s coffers were made lighter by the departures of Palmer or Gundogan and Mahrez. Although the Cityzens have the biggest initial budget, a career for them won’t be very common. Mainly because of the fact that the club is at the top and owns the best players.
