Football Manager 27 is upon us, with the new game free to play until 3 November after an unprecedented move from developers Sports Interactive.
The early access preview has been granted to PC and Mac user prior to its release date on November 10, with plenty of FM fanatics getting to stuck into their saves - which they can they continue as soon as they full game comes out.
There are of course many factors in choosing a team to do a save with and taking on a really challenge rather than simply picking the best team tends to be the way go.
But it's clear that a club's transfer budget is extremely important and on FM27, there are varying figures across the top tier of English football.
The Premier League is the richest league in the world and in the new game, the median transfer budget is £20,150,000.
At the very bottom of the starting budget league is Leeds United, who have no money to spend according to footballmanagerblog.org. Free transfers and loans might just be the way to go unless you get offload some players and recoup some funds.
Aston Villa have struggled with PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules) for a number of the years and that is no different on FM, where they only have £860,000 to spend from the off.
At the top though, champions Arsenal have a staggering transfer kitty of £152.7 million - allowing players to strengthen an already complete squad.
The budget for Arsenal is more than double any other club. Surprisingly, it is high-flying Brighton who have the second-highest amount to spend with £67.7 million.
Bournemouth are in Europe for the first team this season and they have a lovely £54.5 million to add some new players to the ranks.
That figure is higher than Chelsea (£52.1 million), Manchester City (£48.9 million) and Liverpool (£43 million).
Incredibly, Everton are ahead of their Merseyside rivals with a transfer budget of £45 million, while big-spending Spurs have another £25.9 million knocking about.
But it bad news for Manchester United fans as they have just £14 million for their starting budget - a far cry from the £70 million which was available in FM17.
Similarly, Newcastle have just £13 million to spend.
