I would be up in arms if I was doing an Arsenal save right now. I know that there are "legal reasons" for not having Dowman in the game, but FM forcing him to retire in all your save games is a HORRIBLE look for SI.
Sort It Out SI@sortitoutsi.bsky.social · 3d ago🚨 Be careful before installing the latest FM27 hotfix! Young players like Max Dowman have disappeared from new saves. Even worse, in existing saves, these players are being forced to retire immediately after the update. 👇 More information: 🔗 sortitoutsi.net/content/7814...

Oh... okay. This is a way to win over the #FM27 fence-sitters. Fair play to SI. Let's see if I can complete a full season with VfB Stuttgart in just 4 days. It usually takes me that long just to get to October. 😄 www.footballmanager.com/news/play-fo...

NEW BLOG POST! To celebrate 25 years of Championship Manager 01/02, I have published a new story - following a young non-league manager's journey from start to finish, over the course of 2-and-a-half decades.
25 Years: A Championship Manager 01/02 Story
Championship Manager: Season 01/02 was released 25 years ago today. The final game of the classic CM3 era, this was also the last version before Sports Interactive made the big leap towards adding a 2D match engine. For many people, it offers the perfect balance between playability and depth - not too shallow, not too much pointless fluff. CM01/02 remains hugely popular to this day - getting regular data updates, and even new patches that add more leagues and new tournament formats.

Let's have a closer look at the FM27 match engine... ...which I'll be watching in 2D.
NEW BLOG POST! Here's my review of Championship Soccer 2026 - a Sensi-style game where you can build your own footballing world as a player, a manager, or even both! Any reposts appreciated.
Review: Championship Soccer 2026
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another Fuller FM review. Today, I'm going to look at a brand-new football game that was released earlier this month! No, it's not We Are Football 2027. It's also not that non-league manager game that totally doesn't look like it was vibe-coded with Claude. I will probably get to those titles another time. A couple of years ago, I looked back on a versatile and addictive shareware game from the mid-2000s that had sadly faded into obscurity.

If football has any shred of integrity left, Manchester City would be kicked out of the Premier League ASAP - and their owners/executives would never work in football again.
So... does this mean Arsenal have now won 3 titles in 4 years? 😁
Cup draws back Leagues in focus back Deadline day back I'm a bit more positive about FM27 now, but it appears that it's taken SI 3 years to remake FM24 in Unity.
One more sleep to go until we finally get *some* news about FM27. Hopefully.

NEW BLOG POST! In my annual blog update, I look back on everything I've written in this game cycle - and look ahead to FM27. Surely it can't be any worse than FM26?
Blog Update #10
It's that time of the year. Another Football Manager release cycle is coming to an end... and soon we'll all be experiencing the hope, excitement, and inevitable misery all over again. As one of the many people who found Football Manager 26 to be a bitter disappointment, I really can't wait to move on. And this is what this annual Fuller FM blog update is all about.

Premier League title race: Are Arsenal and Man City the only contenders?
Four games is far too soon to be talking about who is in or out of the title race... isn't it? BBC Sport asks if this is already a two-horse race.

NEW BLOG POST! It's the final chapter of my CM00/01 series with Millwall. The Lions have just three years left to win the Champions League and the World Championship. Can we do it? Any reposts appreciated.
CM00/01 Revisited: A Decade At The Den – Part 3
Hello again. This is the third and final chapter of my Championship Manager 00/01 mini-series. Starting in the year 2000, I've set out to lead Millwall from Division 2 to the top of world football. Having first made it into the Premiership, and then won every major domestic trophy, it's now time for the endgame. I have just three seasons left in which I want to win the Champions League...
