These are the top 3 Derby challenges on Football Manager 2017

Established Premier League team

Like so many sides in the Championship, Derby are striving to reach the Premier League, but haven’t been able to get over the line in recent seasons.

Two play-off heartbreaks and an eighth place in the last three seasons, it’s time for you to take over and get Derby promoted to the top-flight.

With the squad the Rams have got, promotion should happen, so this challenge isn’t just about getting promoted, it’s about staying in the Premier League.

You’ve got five seasons to win promotion and establish Derby as a Premier League side, in the same way that Southampton, Stoke, and West Brom have done in recent times.
