Football Manager News

Football might be known as ‘the beautiful game’ but it is often chaotic and unpredictable with frequent changes of possession, fluid movement across the pitch and endless battles between attacking and defensive units.

FM21 simulates this controlled chaos better than ever before with a raft of AI improvements across all areas of the pitch that lead to much more variety in the passage of play over the course of a match.

In this blog, we’re going to be covering every area of the pitch, including:

• Decision-Making
• Defensive Awareness
• Attacking in the Final Third
• Central Play
• Goalkeeper Intelligence

We’re delighted to confirm the November 24th release date of Football Manager 2021 Mobile which is now available for pre-order on the App Store and for pre-registration on Google Play. 

When COVID-19 first brought the world to a virtual standstill a few months ago (although it seems like years at this point) people started to ask us via social media if we were going to update FM20 to include the virus and its effects.

We decided not to.

Football Manager returns to Xbox for the first time since the 2007/08 season with Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition. 

We’re delighted to reveal that Football Manager 2021 (PC/Mac) will launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 24th. Fans who pre-order FM21 from a participating digital retailer* will receive a 10% discount and access to the pre-release Early Access version of the game, which should be available approximately two weeks before full release. As in previous years, those who buy the game through Steam (and now Epic Games) will also receive Football Manager 2021 Touch (PC/Mac) for free.
