Football Manager 2018 | Release date, new features and everything you need to know

It's almost time to dust off the sheepskin and polish off your referee-baiting monologues. Football Manager 2018's release date is closing in and the management sim's developer Sports Interactive is starting to reveal its new features in earnest.

Football Manager is always a time-stealing wonder, as dugout dreamers take control of teams from every corner of the footballing world in an attempt to lead them to glory. It is a cornucopia of data, detail and drama, with each entry looking to improve its already comprehensive simulation. As such, SI take great care in detailing new features, even going so far as to simulate Brexit last year, and FM18 is no different. Even though release is just weeks away, only now are we starting to get a picture of what is new in the latest game. Here is everything we know so far.

When is Football Manager 2018 released?

FM18's release date is 10 November 2017.

What devices is it on?

The full-fat version of Football Manager 2018 will be released on PC, Mac and Linux. The streamlined Football Manager Touch 2018 will also release on PC, Mac and Linux as well as on high-end iPads and Android tablets. The even more streamlined Football Manager Mobile 2018 will release on iOS and Android. All versions will be released on the same day for the first time.

How much will Football Manager 2018 cost?

FM18 will cost £37.99 while Football Manager Touch 2018 will cost £21.99. A price for Football Manager Movile 2018 is yet to be set.

FM18 new features

Sports Interactive are just starting to reveal the changes to Football Manager 2018. In a tongue-in-cheek video released last week, the developer answered some of the 'rumoured' features as Sky Sports would cover wanton transfer speculation. Goofy as the video was, there was some juicy info tucked into the gags.
