While there are a whole host of online modes that are good fun on FIFA, you can't beat a bit of career mode.
The opportunity to manage pretty much any team in the world and build a team is a pretty big deal and it's always a good way to pass time.
Sometimes it's much more fun to do it with a lesser team so that the challenge is better but if you enjoy picking the big guns, the European heavyweight, then you are well within your rights to do so.

I've been an avid Career Mode enthusiast for quite some time and have many successful stints with the likes of Wolfsburg, Roma and Freiburg over the years.
In order to give you those necessary funds to be able to improve your squad significantly and buy those top tier players, you need money and unless you are a club swimming in cash, you probably need to either sell some of your big hitters, or go for the financial takeover option.
However, there's a way to have unlimited transfer funds and it genuinely works.
There's no hacking or coding involved, it's just a bit of a glitch that EA Sports are seemingly yet to rectify.

I came across the clever trick when watching a video that YouTuber MNW put together. He goes through a step-by-step process on how to watch the money fly in.
The first step to take is to pick a team with a club who are relatively big. MNW went for Chelsea, I opted for Manchester City when I tried it out.

Next up, you need to move all of their transfer budget into the wages section.
Then, you have to simulate a season and if you don't get sacked for not meeting expectations, let certain players' contracts nearly run down to the point of expiration. But you offer them a new deal just before you reach of the end of the campaign, preferably in the last week of the campaign.
The trick, and the most important part, is to offer those with a deal about to expire and give them their correct demands but also offer them whopping wages of £890,000 a week. In MNW's case, he offers $1 million dollars and some people have made the error of offering their players £1 million, which has led to the trick not working.
It seems a bit of a weird step, giving your players ridiculous wages but it does make sense in the end. Once they accept their new deal, because let's face it they aren't going to turn down such eye-watering amounts, you need to advance to the next season and wait for the transfer window to reopen.

Following on from that, you go to sign players (I went for some average no-marks who were transfer listed) and offer them the money that they want but also include one unwanted player as part of the deal - cash plus player. If it's a small club, chances are they will accept and as a result your wages get put back in.

I did it with Fernandinho, Yaya Toure and Angelino at Manchester City and saw the wage budget get put back in, meaning that I would then have a significant increase in transfer budget when I tinkered with the finances.

In simple terms, the more players you put on £890,000 wages and trade to other teams, the more money you end up with. MNW ended up having over $1 billion transfer budget, meaning he could pretty much buy whoever he wanted.

You'll see from the comments that if you do it correctly, it genuinely works.
Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical but having actually tried it, I can say it is a success and is well worth giving a go if you want a shit load of cash to splash on FIFA 17 career mode.
I'm off to assemble the dream team of all dream teams...
