Following the release of Football Manager 27, it's time for you to decide which team you'll be looking to steer to glory in your very first save.
While some prefer to start in the lower divisions with limited resources and lower budgets, others opt to ease themselves into the new game by taking over a superior side with greater finances.
We've taken a look at the teams with the biggest transfer budgets in FM 27.
Reigning Premier League champions Arsenal lead the way with the biggest transfer budget in FM 27, and by some way too. Their allowance of £153m more than doubles Brighton's, who sit second in the standings with £68m available to spend on the south coast.
Arsenal and Brighton are two of 10 Premier League teams that make the list, demonstrating the financial power and fairer revenue distribution in England's top-flight.
La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona make the list, as do 35-time Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich.
West Ham are the only second-tier side to make the list, with £25m available to boost the club's Championship promotion hopes.
