Inspired to be healthier, greener and raise some money for Prostate Cancer UK, Ryan kicked off his challenge last August by travelling to Ebbsfleet United’s Stonebridge Road. He finished this past Saturday with the longest trip of all, a 150 mile trek, split over two days, from his base in Crawley to Twerton Park, the home of Bath City.

The Final Winter Update for Football Manager 2022 is now available for PC/Mac, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch™. This update includes activity from those transfer windows which closed during February, along with database updates and a few further gameplay fixes. There are also a number of gameplay adjustments designed specifically to address the upheaval caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24th.

Studio Director Miles Jacobson delivered a detailed explanation of the changes we’ve made and the rationale behind them in a recent blog.

The update will follow at a later date for FM22 Mobile (iOS/Android).
 

Making Football Manager is an ongoing quest to create a virtual world which is simultaneously authentic to the real world and also an entertaining escape for our players. This is always a complex challenge, but sometimes it’s made significantly more difficult by real world events. 

This occasionally leads us to a point where we have to make difficult decisions – Brexit and Covid being two recent examples of this – and in these situations we try our best to explain our thinking. 

Our final winter update is normally something of a ‘tidying up’ exercise, where we reflect the transfer activity from those leagues and associations whose transfer windows close later than the majority and fix any minor gameplay issues which may still linger. This year, however, things are very different. 

Versus Mode is back, giving FMFC members the opportunity to challenge each other for the ultimate online bragging rights.

Since its launch in November 2020, FMFC, the Football Manager members club, has offered exclusive access to feature news, competitions, events and even the opportunity for members to appear in the game. With the new-look Versus Mode, members can now compete against one another in a variety of tournament formats. 
 

The Main Winter Update for FM22 (PC/Mac) is available now, with this initial refresh including updated squads following the conclusion of the January Transfer Window.

The Main Winter Update is also now live for FM22 Xbox, FM22 Mobile (iOS/Android) and FM22 Touch (Nintendo Switch™).

Earn the plaudits this transfer window by picking up Football Manager 2022, now 20% off across all platforms. 

The sale period runs until 6pm GMT on Thursday, February 3rd, although timings vary by territory and platform (see table below for full details).
