Walk down the tunnel to a living, breathing football world with you at the very heart of it. Your opinion matters.

This is a world that rewards planning and knowledge but, unlike other games, there’s no pre-defined ending or script to follow – just endless possibilities and opportunities. Every club has a story to tell and it’s down to you to create it.

They say football is a game of dreams. Well, managers are a special breed of dreamers.

They don’t see problems, only opportunities: the chance to prove themselves against the best in the world, to develop and instil a new footballing philosophy, to nurture talent through the ranks, to lift the club to greater heights and end the wait for silverware.

How you get to the top is up to you… you’ll own your decisions, and the consequences they bring…

  • Base yourself in 50 of the biggest footballing countries worldwide
  • Oversee a new era of success at one of 2,500 clubs at every level
  • Sign the best and mould the future – scout more than 500,000 real players and staff
  • Create your tactical vision and bring it to life on the training pitch
  • Kick every ball with our most immersive and smartest match engine to date

DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Take full control of your youth team operations in a new all-encompassing hub. Nurture your young stars from the moment they arrive at your club and through the youth ranks until they’re ready for first-team action.

CLUB VISION

Develop a culture, work with the board to achieve ongoing objectives and plot a course for your club to progress in seasons to come. Club vision goes far beyond the boardroom; impacting on transfers, playing style and competition expectations as you look to strengthen your club’s identity and meet the multi-year milestones.

PLAYING TIME PATHWAY

A whole new way to define a player’s standing in your squad. Build in current and future playing time across the length of a contract, defining a clear pathway from Fringe Player to Star Player and everything in between.

BACKROOM STAFF

New roles, advice and interaction make your staff more involved and important than ever. More collaboration across more areas brings the game closer to the structure of a real-life backroom team.

GRAPHIC IMPROVEMENTS

Redesigned player and manager models, improved lighting and overhauled pitch visuals combine to create the most realistic and best-looking match experience to date.

The core of any video game comes down to the overall gameplay. If a game isn’t fun or competitive, there’s really no reason to continue to play. Obviously, with a game like Football Manager, there’s plenty to love about the overall experience because you would be hard pressed to find a more compelling representation of the sport of soccer. From preparing your team for the next matchup to pre and postgame interviews, there’s so much for the consumer to do. I’ve logged many hours playing FM and very rarely have things felt repetitive or bogged down. Sure, there’s a lot going on (as I will touch on later), but overall you won’t find a better experience.
