Football Manager 2017: Top 20 Richest Teams

6. Arsenal (£39.4m)

FM 2017 Budget Arsenal
Sports Interactive

Transfer Budget: £39.4m, Available Wages £576k

Arsenal's FM 17 budget gives you the perfect opportunity to become the anti-Arsene Wenger by actually using the transfer market to improve your squad's weaknesses. A radical idea, I know...

Arsenal's starting expectations are high ("The board expect you to win the Premier League..." - really?!), but tweaking the gargantuan £3m wage budget can send your transfer budget through the roof. Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, and Petr Cech are obviously fantastic, but they need some serious help, and Arsenal certainly aren't lacking in funds.

Whether you choose to go the Wenger route and flood Arsenal's team with youngsters or bring in the steel and grit his side are crying out for, Arsenal's budget is more than adequete.
