What to expect from FM24
FM24 is the 20th and most complete edition to-date in the series and is our love letter to football. The game is packed with new features influenced by expert insight from new and existing partners within the professional game.
As a reminder, this is an Advanced Access version and is not the full game. As such you may encounter some bugs and glitches that our developers will be working tirelessly to fix before full release. The Advanced Access version also contains information that is still under approval process by right holders and may contain data that does not, at this time, accurately reflect real world data. For context, some club and player assets may be absent during Advanced Access.
Your feedback is essential to this process – if you find any issues, please use the Report Bug button located on the in-game sidebar. You can also log them on our community forums.
The constantly evolving nature of football is showcased by a suite of Matchday experience changes that bring fans closer to the cutting edge of the sport’s top tactical trends. Intelligent positional rotations on the pitch and the brand-new Inverted Full-Back player role give players more avenues for experimenting, while matches themselves benefit from smarter player movement and increasingly authentic ball physics and lighting.
Set Piece Coaches also make their debut and help to power a refreshed Set Piece Creator that delivers new and intuitive ways to create match-winning routines in every scenario.
Elsewhere, upgrades to the recruitment decision-making of opposition managers and the in-game Finances system increase the challenge and dynamism of every career. The introduction of Intermediaries and enhanced functionality for pre-existing Agents gives players more real-world powered tools to sell players and drive their next rebuild projects.
Fans can also inspire their players to strive for more by setting Targets to elevate their performance levels. Alongside this, you’ll also benefit from more realistic and constructive interactions with their squad and backroom team.
A brand-new licensing agreement with the Meiji Yasuda Insurance Ltd J.1 League, J.2 League and J.3 League unlocks Japan as a playable nation and is supported by the addition of Japanese as an official in-game language.

Whether they’re a potent source of goals or one of your team’s key defensive strengths, set pieces are an integral aspect of every football match and every manager’s tactical approach.
Many elite clubs have added set piece specialists to their coaching teams in recent seasons as they seek to find that extra 1% to help them edge out their most fierce rivals.
Their arrival on the scene has led to many of you making suggestions on our forums and socials for us to upgrade the way our Set Pieces system works in FM.
Now in FM24, the most complete edition in our series to-date, expert insight from key industry contacts means that Set Piece Coaches are making their debut and will help to power a refreshed Set Piece Creator.
Truer Football Motion, Match Authenticity & Positional Play
Matchdays are the moments that get the adrenaline flowing in every Football Manager career. They’re where tactical visions come to life, underdog stories are written and players win a lifelong place in your heart with their heroics.
With every release of Football Manager, our Match team strive to make those moments feel closer to a perfect simulation of real-world football.
In FM24, the most complete version in the series to-date, the team have vastly improved the way players behave in our engine. From animation locomotion upgrades that improve off-the-ball movement right through to player rotation enhancements that enable you to incorporate more positional play in your tactics, you’ll notice the changes from your first kick-off.
The introduction of a brand-new player role brings you closer to the cutting edge of the professional game, while other roles have had their functionality refined to complement some of our other changes.
We’ve also made upgrades to our ball physics and matchday lighting to level up the immersion, so let’s dive into why this year’s match experience is the best yet.
Whether it’s your team scoring for the tenth game in a row, your robust defence keeping another clean sheet or your top prospect realising their potential, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a plan come together in Football Manager.
There can, sometimes, be bumps on the path to glory. Slumps in form, standards dropping in training and player unhappiness can derail your plans and force a rethink in your approach.
So, in Football Manager 2024, you can now inspire your players to strive for more by setting Targets to elevate their performance levels. Alongside this, we’ve also made changes to the way you interact with your players and staff to ensure your conversations are realistic and constructive.
Whether you’re signing world-class Wonderkids, looking to offload players that no longer make the grade or anything in-between, squad building is integral to every Football Manager career.
We’ve heard your feedback in recent years that selling players can prove a frustrating experience – as it often is for many clubs and players during every transfer window. With that in mind, our team considered what extra tools could we have in FM24 for players and AI managers to help with this aspect of the game.
As with so many areas of Football Manager, we leaned on our industry access to better understand how clubs look to solve the problem of offloading players in the professional game and then applied that insight to our game world.
