They still look like themselves but ever so slightly different. If you’ve played a Football Manager game before, it feels like returning to an old friend who’s had a facelift. I can still tell you my starting XI from Football Manager 2013 as the team who went on to dominate English and European Football.

The bizarre, asymmetric formations, the regens (game created youth players when they’ve run out of real people) and the individual matches are all experiences that stick with you. There is nothing as rewarding as taking a semi-professional team from the dregs of non-league football to Premier League and European glory. You essentially get to write your own footballing story and it is one of the series’ biggest strengths. It immerses you in the world of football unlike any game on the market. It offers football fans the ability not just to manage your favourite club, but any club you desire. Football Manager 2021 is the latest manager simulator in a series that started back in 1992 as Championship Manager.
