FM22 Player Tips

Whilst we have released our own top tips article that will undoubtedly help your save reach the next level, some of these tips below were even unbeknownst to us.

From injury rehab to simply financial tricks, these player tips are certain to teach you something brand new about Football Manager 2022.

Managing Injuries

The old adage 'you learn something new every day' certainly rings true when reading some of these tips, and this one is certainly news to us.

@Elliotttttt8 revealed to many unknowing players - like ourselves - that you can set a player's individual training to 'rehab' when they are recovering from an injury, allowing them to maintain their physical stats.

This tip certainly is a gamechanger and likely means that we owe a few assistant managers an apology.

After reading this tip, we checked it out ourselves and can confirm it works, meaning the days of worrying about depleting physical stats on an injured player may finally be over.

Youth Intake

Youth Intake day is one of the most exciting in the Football Manager calendar and @DHodgy14 has uncovered a tip that will undoubtedly help you snap up some of the best wonderkids for a very small fee.

Following these simple steps on youth intake day will allow you to see EVERY wonderkid regen available in Football Manager 2022, with the option of approaching them for free a distinct possibility.

Of course, you will be required to pay a small compensation fee once they arrive, but it will save you millions down the line.

Whilst you won't be convincing Marcus Rashford to take a 3-month sabbatical to Rochdale, you will be able to sign and deploy some of the game's top young talent.

Back to Basics

Not every tip can blow your mind, but sometimes it's the most simple suggestion that can form the greatest lesson.

@HPJ07 may have taken some time to impart such wisdom, but it's hard to deny the truth behind his statement.

Ultimately, we're all just trying to win more games than the other teams in the league, but between VAR and the £30 million striker that can't hit a barn door, it's easier said than done.

But we'll keep trying, GPJ05, we'll keep trying...
