Jan 22, 202401:16:29

Is This The Best FM Yet?

On this week’s podcast we’ll head to Japan to see how Doop's doing in the Pentagon Challenge, hopefully Madd has been back to Ikea & Dave’s still wondering how to pronounce Mr Peter’s first name. After last week’s Golazo list we thought we’d actually take that look at Matias Soule and with a bit of luck we’ll have tangents galore to fill this hour!

It's Time For FM24!

There’s no better place to start this week’s podcast than talking about the FM24 news and if you’re listening to us on Monday 18th September when this podcast goes out you haven’t got long until you find out what the team at Football Manager mean when they say ‘Smarter Transfers, Squad Building & Finance’ and ‘Introducing Intermediaries & Offloading Players’ that news will be out today/Monday with more news to follow. But, as we’re not time travellers, we’ll talk about what we do know and give you our interpretation of what that announcement video tells us.

Sancho's Sticky Situation.

Save updates and this week we’re going to the Netherlands and Madd is going to tell you all about his pick of the week - a Dutch midfielder who has started the new Eredivisie season like a house on fire and also (interestingly) has a well-known footballing father - let’s look at 19-year-old Ruben Van Bommell, son of former Barcelona, Bayern and Netherlands midfielder Mark van Bommell and who at the time of recording has kick off the new campaign with 4 goals and 2 assists in 6 games for AZ Alkmaar.

Transfer battles in FM

We’ve decided not to do a save focus this week so that we can dedicate the majority of this week’s pod to a Football Manager Transfer Window special, timely given the chaos which has ensued this week as the transfer merry-go-round is in full swing! Instead, we thought we would look at four real-life transfer situations happening currently and talk about how we would approach this in Football Manager because that’s what we do here right?

New Season Predictions

We will have no save updates this week seeing as myself and Madd have both been away on holidays (not together sadly), instead we will be doing somewhat of a new season special this week as we gear up for the return of the Premier League this weekend, but with a Football Manager twist of sorts.

ALIENS IN FOOTBALL MANAGER???

On this week’s pod, we will have no save updates seeing as you got a good earful on all of our respective saves last week, but instead, we are going full Space Jam based on a tweet we spotted a few weeks ago by GoalScorer Challenge (@goalscorerC on Twitter) which challenges us to select an Earth XI for a world-saving clash against an Alien invasion XI, and we thought what better way to do so than use FM23 to select what we feel is the best World XI in the game.

The Future of Football Manager with Nic Madden

This week we are dropping the interview with Nic Madden, Senior Match Producer at Sports Interactive. We will bypass our regular save update as there is an even more significant update to be discussed and that is the latest blog/press release from Miles on behalf of the studio which gives us some insight on the performance of FM23, the status of FM24 and perhaps most excitingly, the future for FM25 and beyond with some significant studio changes and transformations in the pipeline across all elements of the game.
