These are the top 3 West Ham challenges on Football Manager 2017

Bring European football to the London Stadium

You can surely do better than West Ham did in Europe this season?

After all, you have moved to a new and bigger stadium so the owners can ‘change the brand’ of the football club, and European football is likely to be a part of that.

Yet, two qualifying matches, against opposition few have heard of, isn’t going to cut it, so you’re going to do much better.

Not only will you start in Europa League qualifying (and get through to the group stages), you must also qualify for European football for three successive seasons after this, be it by winning the Europa League in your first season, winning a domestic trophy, or finishing in the top six.

A tough task yes, but one West Ham must strive to achieve in their new stadium.
