For players who do not want to manage a top club in Football Manager 2024, Crystal Palace has been an incredibly popular choice. So what makes the Eagles so popular among Football Manager enthusiasts. We will look into the reasons here.

The first reason behind the popularing of Crystal Palace in FM24 is the Premier League. It is the most competitive league in the world and also the most followed one. So, quite naturally, managing a Premier League side in the game is highly appealing.

Crystal Palace have been struggling with mediocrity for quite a while now and have been languishing between 11th and 15th on a consistent basis. However, the potential is there for everyone to see and it will quite naturally be very exciting to transform such a side to a force to reckon with in the league.

Palace have some gifted players like Michael Olise, Ebere Eze, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell among others. So, you can see that there is already a decent core for one to build upon. Especially, the centre-back pairing of Andersen and Guehi is arguably the best outside the top six clubs.

There is also plenty of deadwood in the side which means a scope for an overhaul, something that can be hugely exciting. Transfers are one of the most interesting aspects in Football Manager and you can enjoy this very well if you start at Palace where you will need to splash money but very carefully because there are plenty of areas to work on.

Selhurst Park is a nightmare away stadium because of the Palace fans and that is despite the fact that the club has been languishing in the wrong half of the table. With the right management, you can have your own fortress. To summarize things, Crystal Palace is quite a challenging save but can be a fun if you are doing the right things.
