Episode One: Interview with Miles Jacobson

The beta version of Football Manager 2021 is live, so what's changed? Well, there's no more taking your star player off if he drops under 71%, that's for starters. It's all brightly coloured hearts now. And well, why not? After all, can Jurgen Klopp tell you when his players drop to 71% during the game? No, he cannot. Iain Macintosh chats to SI's features producer Stephen Davidson about all the new stuff and what it all means.

Episode Three: Starting A New Game

Football Manager 2021 has been out for a week, long enough for all of our first saves to have crashed and burned. What went wrong? Well, it's probably the tactics.

Football Manager isn't just a solitary battle of man against machine, fought in the early hours of the morning. You can play online against humans too.

Episode Seven: FM Online

How do YOU play Football Manager? TIFO's Alex Stewart chats to Iain Macintosh about his experiences with the game, his preferred tactics, the way he uses data in recruitment and the importance of not buying anyone in the first transfer window. 

Apologies for sub-par sound quality. Alex sounds great. Iain sounds like he got locked in his toilet. Fortunately, Alex does most of the talking.

Episode Nine: FM Challenge: Marine vs Tottenham

In this episode, Iain Macintosh chats all things FM streaming and YouTubing with Zealand.

There’s a Position Of The Week as CJ Ramson tells you to push out wide apart from the times you also come inside… it’s the madness of the Inverted Wingback

Your letters resemble more of an agony aunt column as we come to terms with saying goodbye to FM21 amongst other things...
