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.

  • 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.
