This is part of a series where I post the budgets and board expectations for various leagues in FIFA 18. Check back for more soon!
Even though it’s the British second division, the Championship is still flush with cash in FIFA 18. Budgets of around £10m aren’t uncommon, which is far higher than most second divisions. That means you get the challenge of not starting in the top division, combined with a decent budget with which to buy players. It’s also a very competitive league, giving you plenty of choice over which team to pick.
So here is every team’s budget and board expectations in the Championship in FIFA 18. Hopefully it’ll help you plan out which team you want to take to glory!
