I tend to manage at International level but double job. I've been Spain manager for five seasons now and Portugal before that but I'll manage a club at the same time. I'm not sure what you can really do with it to improve it. It's just kind of how International football is really. I believe it's looking likely custom skins may not be available for a while too.

Keep up to date with our new FM News section which includes yesterdays Development Update from Sports Interactive Studio Manager Miles Jacobson. https://footballmanagergraphics.com/blogs/category/3-football-manager-2025/ One of the main takeaways seems to be no international team management for FM25 but it will return in time for FM26. This is to allow SI to focus resources elsewhere to ensure a quality product upon releasing FM25. The release date is not confirmed but it looks like a late November release this year. A positive note is that player weights have now been removed from the front end of the game and won't be visible in-game. This will save myself some fat shaming this year when creating myself in-game. 😄 Anyway check out the link above for more FM News.

Football Manager 2025 may be slightly delayed this year but we've got some of our new challenges available now to help you plan your first FM save. We're excited to bring you even more challenges in the coming months with our FMG Pass The Save and Build A Squad returning on release of FM25.

Kenny Dalglish led a team of Tim Flowers, Graeme Le Saux, Braveheart Colin Hendry, Tim Sherwood and the 'SAS' strike force of Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton to the FA Premiership title. The Scot and his team of stars scratched the 81 year itch for league success but it was legendary club owner and Blackburn local Jack Walker's Walkersteel millions that made it all happen. You might not have Walker's millions but can you take Blackburn all the way to the Premier League title? Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

Liverpool fans are still feeling that sense of abandonment since Jürgen Norbert Klopp departed Anfield for the European leg of Taylor Swift's Eras tour and on to the paddle tennis courts of Santa Ponza. However, we will be forever grateful for his exceptional time at Anfield but not nearly as much owners FSG were with his prudent spending in the transfer market. The challenge is to take LFC to the Premier League and Champions League titles within three seasons but without dusting the cobwebs off the FSG cheque book and finish each season with a transfer positive! Don't be a Todd Boehly, all cash up front! Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

The ultimate test of your Football Manager skills will be to bring this giant of French football back to Ligue 1 after a heart breaking summer. You will have only five seasons to navigate your way back to the top flight Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

The year is 1988, CD's outsold vinyl records for the first time, Who Framed Roger Rabbit hit the cinemas, Adele was born and a team of looney's named The Crazy Gang were smashing teams up all over England. Led by Vinny Jones, Dennis Wise and a future 'Spice Boy' John Scales, Wimbledon managed the unthinkable and lifted the FA Cup against the mighty league champions Liverpool. Can you take AFC Wimbledon all the way to FA Cup glory? Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

A challenge inspired by a famous Watford supporter! Elton John? Miles Jacobson? Geri Halliwell? No, the one and only Fabrizio Romano! Lead the Hornets back to the big time but with a twist as you may only improve your squad on deadline day only (summer & winter). Take up the challenge and share your journey in here. Here we go!

Chelsea, Blackburn and Ireland fan favourite Damien Duff has made a positive start to his managerial at local club Shelbourne. Have you got what it takes to do the unthinkable and take a League of Ireland team all the way to the Champions League proper? Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen completed an amazing 2023-24 season by going invincible and ending their wait for a Bundesliga title. Your challenge if you choose to accept it (I know, sorry🤨) is to emulate this achievement and go the entire Bundesliga season unbeaten. Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

It's been over 24 years since the late great Sven-Goran Eriksson's Lazio claimed the scudetto. A team that consisted of Pavel Nedvěd, Attilio Lombardo, Diego Simeone, Alessandro Nesta, Siniša Mihajlović, Marcelo Salas, Alen Bokšić, Juan Sebastian Veron, Dejan Stankovic, Simone Inzaghi and Roberto Mancini to name only a few brought glory to the Olimpico. The challenge is to take the eagles back to the summit but with a twist. You can only do so by purchasing current Serie A players only. Take up the challenge and share your journey in here.

This update is essential for those who regularly use FM Graphics or plan to start with FM25. Keep an eye out for the new megapacks and remember to follow the guidelines below to ensure a smooth experience. FM25 Megapacks Release Timeline - The final update for FM24 megapacks will be released by the end of this month, followed by the new FM25 megapacks 1-3 days later. Advice - If your current megapack is up to date, simply download the final update for FM24 instead of the entire new FM25 megapack. The current megapack is compatible with FM25 due to the continuation of monthly updates. First-Time Downloaders - If you haven’t downloaded a megapack before or in a while, it’s recommended to wait for the FM25 megapacks instead of downloading the FM24 pack and 12 updates. FMG Logo Megapack News Discontinued Packs - FMG Button, D11, and Stone Logos will not return for FM25. New Style - A new logo style will be introduced with the FM25 megapacks and is already complete. FM Mobile Megapacks - These will return as standalone packs after being incorporated into regular packs last year. Message to Members High Demand - Expect heavy traffic on the site around the FM25 Beta release, with an estimated 5,000-10,000 new members per week. Download Sources - Links to Mega and Mediafire will be provided for downloads, with no direct downloads from the FMG servers this year. Site Support - The site is free and relies on volunteers, but operating costs are high, especially for downloads and bandwidth. Registration Requirement - Registering is necessary to limit downloads per person and avoid overwhelming the site. Download Managers - Avoid using download managers to prevent automatic temporary bans due to repeated download attempts. This is important! Final Notes Patience! The FMG team asks for patience from members during this busy period. Once again, there are no charges or subscription fees for this site so please keep this in mind.

Development Update: Football Manager 25 I want to begin this latest Football Manager 25 Development Update by thanking everyone who read our previous one in June. We’ve been following the reaction and conversation and look forward to addressing many of your comments and observations when we start our FM25 gameplay rollout period. In June’s blog, I revealed the first-ever FIFAe World Cup of Football Manager, which wrapped up this past weekend. I was very proud to be in Liverpool for the final couple of days of a fantastic four-day competition that I thought FIFAe did a fantastic job with; from production, the players, the broadcasting and all the content across socials - everything looked incredible in person and online. Seeing FM in the eSports domain was really exciting - and I hope those who attended the event, and those who watched and followed along online, agree. For me, it was pretty surreal and emotional to be sat in the audience and hear the way the presenters and pundits spoke about the life's work of the entire SI team – and the way what is primarily played as a solo experience came to life as an eSport. Alongside the FIFAe team, we will digest and evaluate the tournament in the coming weeks to see what learnings we can take and what the future entails for collaboration between us. Congratulations to the winners, Ichsan Rahmat Taufiq and Budi Muhamad Manar from Indonesia – what an achievement. Commiserations too to the runners-up Sven Goly and Tery Whenett from Germany, who were fantastic throughout the event. The standard of play from all 20 managers was incredibly high and underlines how truly global the FM community is. Our last Development Update gave you a picture of our world in June, and since then we've had to review some of the things previously mentioned. I want to take this opportunity as well to update you on some further FM25 development decisions we've made, as well as some alterations to our calendar for the months ahead. Revising our timelines We previously stated that we would be confirming FM25’s release date at the beginning of September (with pre-orders starting at the same time), closely followed by our gameplay rollout period. Firstly, we've had to shift the official announcement of FM25 to the end of September. The gameplay focus period will follow soon thereafter. Our target launch date has moved accordingly and is now scheduled for late November, rather than our usual early November slot. The FM25 development cycle has been challenging for the whole team. We knew that moving the entire game to the Unity engine was going to be a complex endeavour. As we’ve gotten deeper into the process and gained learnings, it’s fair to say it’s been trickier than we originally anticipated. The entire dev team has been challenged in a myriad of new ways and are doing an incredible job in the process. I’m excited to eventually share our hard work with you but we need a little more time before we can do that. As I outlined in June’s blog, we’ve consistently held ourselves accountable to the same three core questions: Would we do it in the same way if we had our time again? Would we have done this at all? Do we have the time required to do this to the highest possible standard, in our first cycle of a new era? The challenges we’ve encountered in the development process over the last couple of months have led us to make another difficult decision around game content: international management will not be a playable mode in FM25, FM25 Console or FM25 Touch. Coming off the back of a summer of tournament football and with this week even being an international break, we’ve looked really hard at international management in FM and determined that what we were planning to deliver wouldn’t reach our initial quality threshold. We also considered the available game data. Only 5.6% of all FM24 PC saves have used the mode, which we feel validates our view that we need to do much, much better with the experience. That number is even smaller on Console. So, rather than delay FM25 even further, we’ve paused work on that area of the game and allocated those resources to other key areas. It will continue to exist in FM25, FM25 Console and FM25 Touch as part of the wider simulation of world football, it just won’t be playable. However, international management will remain playable in FM25 Mobile as that’s on a different development track and codebase. For all other versions, international management will return in a much more feature-rich way to FM26, FM26 Console and FM26 Touch in what will be an exciting year for international football with the World Cup expanding to 48 teams. To be clear, this will return as part of the base game and not as any form of additional downloadable content. While difficult, these decisions are made for the good of the game and the majority of our players. We are determined to ensure that FM25, the first game in a new engine, is as good as it can be in the time we have. By pushing back FM25’s release date, we’ve given ourselves a few extra weeks of development time to try to deliver the best experience that we can for this first in the new era of Football Manager releases. In recent weeks, I have also taken steps to free up more of my time to focus solely on development and supporting the wider team. One of our core studio values is Consider the Bigger Picture, and what’s most important right now is focusing on FM25. I mentioned in June that I’d be speaking at the Unite conference in Barcelona as part of the keynote. While we will still have an FM presence there, I will not be making the trip because I need to concentrate all my efforts on directing FM25. It’s for this reason that I will also not be attending Tokyo Game Show, an event I loved last year and really helped make our first-ever release in Japan a big success. I’ve also cancelled a trip to America which I was really looking forward to but the game, and you as the players of our games, are the bigger picture. An update to Player Profiles When we begin our gameplay rollout, one of the areas I’m really looking forward to sharing is our work on Women’s Football. As you know, it’s been a long-term project for us and one of the biggest things we've done in recent times outside of the move to Unity. Throughout the process, we’ve been laser-focused on introducing Women’s Football to FM in the most authentic way possible. We've applied that thinking to everything we've done, as we generally do with all areas of design and development. From a gameplay perspective, being able to move seamlessly between managing men’s and women’s clubs and vice-versa in one world, one ecosystem was the number one priority - but that’s forced us to consider how various game world aspects are currently portrayed. As such, we can now share a change we’ve made to all FM25 player profiles: a player’s weight will no longer be visible. Through the creation of our Women's Football database, we discovered that while the weight of male athletes can change a bit month to month, women’s body types are very different from men’s and their weight fluctuates a lot more, often weekly. This perspective encouraged us to review the wider game, much like we have with all other areas, and we’ve ultimately decided to no longer show weight for any players in FM25. A very basic measurement will still be included under the hood, but it won’t be visible on the front end anymore. Testing Update We also announced in June that we would be welcoming FMFC members within a reasonable travel vicinity to come to our campus in London and help with playtesting the new UI/UX of FM25. We received an enormous response to that, and I want to thank everyone who has volunteered and given us their availability. The playtesting will still be going ahead but as a result of the above milestones moving, the start date is shifting slightly. FMFC members who have applied will be contacted shortly with further date options as we begin to finalise the process. This should be my last development update until we start focusing more on what’s in FM25. We have lots of good stuff to show you that we’re excited about but I want to re-iterate that FM25 is the first instalment in a new era for the game, one that will give us a lot more possibilities than we had with the previous chapter. FM25 is just the starting point for what is a very exciting, long-term project. Thanks for reading. Cheers, Miles

I'm not surprised 😆
