With less cans of Monster and cups of tea than in previous weeks, we're finally back in the studio and find ourselves just days away from the official release of Football Manager 2024.

Ken's been getting to grips with Rochdale during #FM24EarlyAccess but in Football Manager 2023 land, the Premier League is underway as Liverpool and City take on West Ham, Chelsea, Chelsea and Sheffield United. As in, they get two games each and both end up playing Chelsea.

IRL, Castlewarren are winning matches, we get some more community thoughts on FM24 but we're finally, officially, underway in the Premier League once more.

If you've not gotten your hands on it yet, Football Manager 2024 drops officially on Monday 6 November at 4 pm in all good stores with the mobile version also wrapped up in Netflix for existing Netflix customers. Apple Arcade has been confirmed too and there are loads of Switch and console updates that have dropped in the past week which you'll find at footballmanager.com.
