Building an FM23 Newgen Dream XI with FMFC

Building an FM23 Newgen Dream XI with FMFC

19.06.23 FM Admin

Over the last seven months, we’ve all experienced the highs and lows that a Football Manager career can bring. Now, to capture all of that drama, we’re creating our very own FM23 all-star newgen XI, powered by you, our FMFC members. 

That XI won’t be solely selected on pure ability or to accommodate a fixed formation. We know that with standout newgens, it’s the stories associated with them that makes them so special and unique. 

Maybe it’s a tale of someone from one of the world’s smaller nations that helped you with your promotion push up the divisions. What about that Central Defender that was only five-foot-six but had 19 Acceleration? Or the striker you snapped up from non-league that smashed your club’s all-time scoring record by the time they were 24? 

Wherever they played, whoever you managed and whatever it was that made your favourite FM23 newgen special, we want to hear about it. 

The 11 FMFC members that get their players selected in the starting line-up will receive an FMFC 23 home shirt with the newgen’s name and number printed on the back. They’ll also see their superstars spotlighted in a future blog on the FM website and FMFC Hub.

The competition closes at 5pm BST on Wednesday 28th June. Terms and conditions apply.

To coincide with our management of Venezia FC over on our TikTok channel, we’re giving FMFC members the chance to win one of their brilliant 2022/23 third shirts.  

The Italian club are internationally recognised for their stylish kits and this season’s gold jersey is another classic.

A perfect summer fit, the shirt combines a metallic gold base with a single-button black collar. The collar features trim of Venezia’s trademark green and orange, while the gold styling pays tribute to the colour’s significance in Venetian art.
