These are the top 3 Stoke challenges on Football Manager 2017

Do a Leicester

Leicester did the unthinkable last season, and in 15 months went from dead-certs for relegation to Premier League champions.

And there’s no reason why, if Leicester can do it, Stoke can’t do it as well.

Stoke have had time to establish themselves as a top-flight club – now it’s your turn to take them to the next step.

In three seasons, you well have ‘done a Leicester’, and won the Premier League.
