Just because most of the major transfer windows slammed shut at the end of January doesn’t mean that there weren’t interesting deals taking place across the world in February. The second half of our winter update features the deals that took place in the Russian and Chinese leagues, the final moves in MLS before the start of the 2020 season and free transfers in the EFL and beyond.

Here are some of the moves that were slightly off the beaten track that we took a shine to.

A lot of us jumped straight into a new save when the first part of the winter update was released last week, relishing the chance to take on new challenges with the latest squads. It’s not just the freshest transfers that are included in the update though, as a huge number of players saw their abilities adjusted to reflect their performances in the first half of the season. We sifted through the list and picked out six of the best that you should definitely be sending your scouts out to take a look at.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the January transfer window was just about the transfer of Erling Haaland, given that he’s making headlines all over the place for his ludicrous goalscoring exploits. There’s been some excellent business done across Europe, so we did a sweep of the ever-evolving market to see where the best deals took place.

Now that the dust has settled on the transfer window, we did a sweep of the ever-changing market to see where the best deals took place. Of course, there were the usual big money deals exchanged between the world’s super powers, but you know about that already. These are the transfers to really get excited about, players you will want to keep an eye on throughout the season.

This week's Wednesday Wisdom focuses on developing young players and creating a pathway for your promising youngsters. This is one of the most exciting parts of Football Manager, as explained brilliantly by @InvWingBacks

‘It’s going to be a long summer without any football’ they’re all saying. Nothing to watch, follow or get excited about. You, an intellectual with your finger on the pulse of football culture, sit back in your chair and laugh.

We've got some time until we need to think about domestic football again. There’s the small matter of an international tournament that England – yes, England – are the favourites to win.
