These are the top 3 Chelsea challenges on Football Manager 2017

How many loan players?

Chelsea currently have 38 players out on loan and, looking at the names spending a temporary time away from Stamford Bridge, there is some real potential lurking about.

Arguably, there is a title-winning squad there.

So, at the start of the season, you are going to remove all the current first team players over the age of 23, so you can retain the likes of Nathaniel Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and not loan out any players under the age of 25 so you can build a squad capable of winning domestic honours.

It may take time to build a side that can challenge but, within four years, you need to have won the title, the FA Cup, and the League Cup.
