How much dollars, pounds or euros do you spend every season on transfers. I normally spent $70-$80m US after 2 seasons, initially $40m for the first 2 seasons. This was before i found out how to offload players in the transfer market for proper market prices, i now spend less than $25m regardless of dramatically improving the squad, spent $352m and sold $285m with roma going in 4th season after few more games, im very pleased because i brought such success at very good return i can sign 2 world class players next season if i want e.g. cristiano ronaldo, fabregas..

How much do YOU spend? and do you find a budget of $40mUS is more than enough to manage teams to become title challengers in 3-4 seasons, im eager to try my hands on teams like aston villa, tottenham etc. soon

I usually spend very little, perhaps 5 million a year when im a top premier league team. (buying mostly u18 players) But i have made two huge signings in the past two year. 50mil for a defender (a rare regen with good heading and jumping) and 60 mil for a striker (i expected slightly more from him). Very unrealistic prices, but then again i was able to sell a couple of my youth players for 30mil each.

It really does depend.

I've spent £7.75 million in my first season with Wolfsburg (inc selling players)

I've got in 14 players for that amount and two of them cost £6.4m between them!

I usually spend my whole budget (about £20m), might as well get the best players I can with my resources.

Except recently, for some reason my club is haemorrhaging cash, but I'm happy with my team, so I'm only spending about a quarter of my budget.

I spent three seasons building up my bank balance and then blew 65 mil on two defensive players. It's a viscious cycle.

I just spend big at the start. Within the first two season I'll spend most/all of the transfer budget given, and then by the third season I rarely spend anything because I only buy 16/17 year olds.

But during the first two seasons, anything is fair game. 50m pounds, 80m pounds, as much as need be.

i usually don't spend any of my (huge) arsenal budget until two seasons down the line. i do purchase many under 18s every year unless my academy produces great players, but i might spend £15M-£25M depending on who needs replacing.

Too much!! I've been rather stupid in my new game with man utd, and bought various top prospects- pricey but from experience know that in a few years they'll be class- before I'd established myself. With Chelsea on fire, and me lumbering just about in second, having spent every penny the glazers don't have, I'm in serious danger of not being able to see out the progress of these wonderkids!

30-40 mil if I'm top division, maybe up to 50 depending on how far up I am. good players cost money, (especially in FM where every club act as if they're selling to chelsea or milan) and I always have a few. below that, anything I have really.

I try not to spend too much. Try. I'll usually spend anywhere from $10-20 million on the youth squad. However, the board loves to sell starters out from under me and always the ones without adequate cover. So I usually have to spend $50-$70 million to replace the starters so that I can meet the board's expectations and keep my job.
