Transfer Budget: £23m, Available Wages: £621k

Gangzhou Evergrande have won the Chinese Super League for each of the past six seasons, and they come with some impressive finances. Their mammoth transfer and wage budgets means you'll never struggle to meet a player's demands, and the league's player restrictions stand as your only roadblock to complete dominance.

They've got a strong starting squad, too. Ex-Charlton and Celtic midfielder Zheng Zhi is 36, but more than capable of gutting out another season in China, and their foreign contingent contains Brazil's Paulinho & Alex Carvalho, along with Jackson Martinez.

Gangzhou China's strongest starting squad and biggest budgets: FM doesn't have a difficulty setting, but using these guys is akin to playing on easy mode.
