City surprisingly have very little to spend in comparison to other versions of the game, though in truth there is very little modification required. However, if you wish, you could still garner a few million from selling a few of the fringe players.

The Eagles strangely make it into the top ten and show themselves to have a relatively healthy balance. There is significant leg room to bring in one major player, or reinforce the squad with a few more new faces to add strength in depth.
