FM 22 New Features reveal

As we get closer to being able to play Football Manager 2022, we received a trailer that highlights new and exciting features coming to the game. One of these features is new data tracking.

There are a ton of new features being brought to the game and we're excited to learn more as we near the expected November 9th release date.

Here are the features we noticed in the reveal trailer for FM 22.

Something that really stuck out to us was the addition of the wide-centre back position. This is going to completely change your game plan in FM 22 and allows for more creativity.

These are a few of the gameplay changes we found out about in the recent FM 22 Dev Update:

  • Many clubs will start with smaller budgets than normal, having to sell players.
  • Some clubs will have to focus on reducing squad size and wage bills.
  • The in-game transfer system will be more flexible in FM 22.

We hope to get an in-depth look at how the Transfer Window is going to operate in FM 22 soon. For now, at least we know that the team has drastically updated it.

New Data Windows - Match Momentum / Passing Chart

This is an awesome feature being brought to FM 22 this year as it'll completely change the way you interact with previous match data!
