S5E10: What Now? Reflecting on FM25 and Looking Ahead to FM26
In this season finale of The FM Technical Area, we take a reflective and forward-looking journey through one of the most unusual years in Football Manager history. FM25 was hyped as a landmark release — and instead, we faced a cancellation, community frustration, and a holding pattern that tested our creativity.
But through it all, the FM community kept going. From deep saves to custom content, tactical tinkering to narrative roleplay, the game lived on — even without major updates.
Join us as we:
- Reflect on the FM25 cycle and what it taught us
- Share top tools, podcasts, books, and YouTubers to prep for FM26
- Explore 3 creative save ideas to keep you engaged this summer
- Highlight community insights and how you’ve stayed inspired
- Launch our summer challenge: #FMScoutingChallenge
💡 Featured Segments:
FM25 Fallout: Lessons from a season of delays and creativity
Summer Scouting: Podcasts, videos, and books to sharpen your FM brain
Save Ideas: Off-meta concepts to keep things fresh until FM26
Community Voices: What kept you playing through the limbo
- The FM Scout Challenge: A summer project to plan your FM26 save
