Transfer budgets
FM27 budgets are only confirmed in the club selection screen. For reference, in FM26 Brighton started with the largest listed budget (£100M). Check the in-game "Club Info" before you choose, and remember wages often matter more than the transfer budget.
Next: grab a starter tactic, then scout wonderkids and free agents.
