Some bits look more promising (stadiums, lighting), but it won't matter if wide defenders still refuse to defend, and players can still run through each other. Not to mention the Stretch Armstrong limbs.

NEW BLOG POST! Here's my review of Championship Soccer 2026 - a Sensi-style game where you can build your own footballing world as a player, a manager, or even both! Any reposts appreciated.

Review: Championship Soccer 2026
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another Fuller FM review. Today, I'm going to look at a brand-new football game that was released earlier this month! No, it's not We Are Football 2027. It's also not that non-league manager game that totally doesn't look like it was vibe-coded with Claude. I will probably get to those titles another time. A couple of years ago, I looked back on a versatile and addictive shareware game from the mid-2000s that had sadly faded into obscurity.

If football has any shred of integrity left, Manchester City would be kicked out of the Premier League ASAP - and their owners/executives would never work in football again.

So... does this mean Arsenal have now won 3 titles in 4 years? 😁

Cup draws back Leagues in focus back Deadline day back I'm a bit more positive about FM27 now, but it appears that it's taken SI 3 years to remake FM24 in Unity.

The AMA was mainly about the UI/UX, so I don't think SI revealed much else besides that. Hopefully, there will be a deep dive on extra data features before release - but I sadly wouldn't bet on it.
001
Fuller FM (Chris) @fullerfm.com · 24/09/2026
I agree. I'm surprised that SI engaged with the subreddit, given its parasocial relationship towards them. The two worrying revelations were that you still can't export data, and there's still no end-of-season review.

NEW BLOG POST! In my annual blog update, I look back on everything I've written in this game cycle - and look ahead to FM27. Surely it can't be any worse than FM26?

Blog Update #10
It's that time of the year. Another Football Manager release cycle is coming to an end... and soon we'll all be experiencing the hope, excitement, and inevitable misery all over again. As one of the many people who found Football Manager 26 to be a bitter disappointment, I really can't wait to move on. And this is what this annual Fuller FM blog update is all about.

Not a great penalty, but Raya came up big when we needed him. I pray he doesn't get injured.

CM00/01 Revisited: A Decade At The Den – Part 2
Welcome back to this retro Championship Manager mini-series. For the past seven months or so, I have been managing Millwall on Championship Manager 00/01, with the challenge of leading them to English, European and world domination within just 10 seasons. This is the second part of the trilogy. After celebrating two promotions in three seasons, can the Lions now establish themselves in the Premiership?

Ramsdale only being 4th choice at Southampton is wild. And he's only 28. I know Raya has been immense since taking his place, but I'd rather have him back as 2nd choice than Meslier or Kepa. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

CM00/01 Revisited: A Decade At The Den – Part 1
On 8 February 2001, when I was 10 years old, I bought my copy of Championship Manager: Season 00/01 from my local Woolworths in Romford. These days, it's now a post office that doubles up as a pound shop, but I digress. I'd already been playing Champ Man for a couple of years, but it was CM00/01 which firmly cemented my addiction to the series.

Looks like my "if I watch Millwall on TV, they don't lose" superstition was only good for one season. 😕

I don't live too far from Shrewsbury nowadays, so I might give them another go at some point. Maybe if they get relegated... it's not too early to think about FM28 saves, is it? 😄

Fiorentina and Shrewsbury. My first two saves from when I started this blogging thing on FM19. (Naturally, I won naff all with either of them. 😅)

Fuller FM (Chris) @fullerfm.com · 29/08/2026
I don't know how much so... but in previous FMs, I recall that the game has favoured older, higher rep players ahead of younger players of similar ability.

Fuller FM (Chris) @fullerfm.com · 29/08/2026
Yes, and I think FM is still far too heavily weighted towards player reputation when it comes to squad selection.

It's probably just some journalists making stuff up, but if we sell Lewis-Skelly to Man Utd or (even worse) Chelsea for pure profit, I might just be done with men's football.

As I said, deck-builders and roguelikes are really not my kind of game. I've never played Balatro (or games like that) and wouldn't give them a second glance. It's only the football element that draws me into this one. Bang Average Football is VERY good.
