China's cash rich clubs love throwing big money around in real life, and FM is no different. There's a ridiculous amount of money in the Super League, but clubs are severely hampered by their international player restrictions.

Chinese teams are limited to just four foreign players per squad, and three per match. This will likely put a dampener on your spending plans, but playing with these restrictions can still be rewarding.

Jiangsu Suning come with the league's second biggest budget, though they're currently overspending on wages and that'll need to be overturned before making any acquisitions. Their squad already boasts ex-Chelsea man Ramires and another talented Brazilian in Alex Teixeira, though Jiangsu are already at their four-player international quota.
