These are the top 3 Crystal Palace challenges on Football Manager 2017

Trust in the Championship

No, we’re not wanting you to relegate the club and start over again (although that would be one hell of challenge to take on!), but this challenge will see you rely on the Championship more than ever before.

There are several talented footballers in English football’s second tier, but with the increased amount of money in the game, they aren’t getting the chances they deserve in the Premier League.

So, as Palace boss, you are going to give them that chance.

No longer will you sign players from the Premier League or from abroad, you must sign just Championship players in a bid to improve your squad, and indeed your position in the top-flight.

Palace’s best finish since returning to the Premier League is tenth, but you’re going to better that by recording at least two top eight finishes in your first four seasons in charge.
