Football Manager 26 is the legacy, redefined, taking you to the heart of the beautiful game when it launches across platforms from November 4th.
Whichever edition of the series you’re playing, the first big decision you’ve got to make is where you’ll be stepping into the dugout and starting your journey.
To help find the perfect club for you, we’ve put together a list of 10 standout teams for your first FM26 save, with everything from European giants through to first-time trophy winners and series debutants.
You can find the full list, here.
Hi Tamers and Montabi friends,

If you’re a completionist and have been struggling to find those last few buttons, fear not!
Today we’re releasing the ✨Coin Detector✨!
After collecting 90 out of 100 buttons, you can activate it right at the level entrance. You can customize the coin detector mode and sound in the gameplay settings.
But that’s not all! Our collectibles have had a bit of an identity crisis lately…
Now you can choose what you want to collect! Perfect if you happen to suffer from koumpounophobia (that’s the fear of buttons, by the way 👀).
Pick your favorite collectible style in the gameplay settings:
🟠 Buttons (the original)
💰 Coins
🛑 Hexagons
🌸 Flowers
🍪 Cookies
🍌 Bananas
🕸️ Spider Webs
🦆 Rubber Ducks
❤️ Hearts
⭐ Stars
👻 Or make them invisible for an extra challenge!
Here are some additional fun updates and sound improvements we shipped with his update! Some of them were highly requested… others were just too good not to add! 😄
Added an accessibility setting to keep the controls overlay from the tutorial visible all times or also get rid of the task list UI for nice screenshots
Added a special siren sound to the toy cars (because someone really wanted that wee woo, wee woo 😉) - Only works if you stand on the car
Added satisfying keyboard click sounds when walking over keyboards in the Office level
Updated new silverware sounds in the Kitchen for extra shine and clink
Several bugfixes
So jump back into the game and hunt down those last coins, uhh… buttons… ducks… whatever they are now! 😄
Greetings!
A new figure has appeared at the Port, the Curio Vendor, a merchant of strange and beautiful things. We’re currently building out his store and functionality, and here’s a first look at the work-in-progress:
Here’s what to expect:
Decorative ornaments for your ship and quarters
Stickers, hull paints, writings and nameplates
Flags, emblems and other visual customizations
Rare finds from expeditions can be sold here
Some may unlock hidden lore, unique rewards or even mysterious ship upgrades
It’s still early, but this vendor will soon become a key part of your long-term journey — a place where beauty and the bizarre meet.
Stay adrift and stay curious.
Dynamic Box Team
After months of hard work by the development team on the remake, the combat system of Lamb 2.0 is finally able to run initially! Though it is still in a very preliminary stage overall, the core satisfying experience of freely combining multiple companions can already be glimpsed.
You can watch the latest gameplay demo video on the homepage.
In the game, you only need to control the character in Slot 1; companion heroes will automatically follow you and match your movement. Use your own skills and positioning to protect your teammates, and in return, your teammates will also protect you—fighting together against powerful enemies!
Of course, it’s also crucial to leverage the class traits of different companions and build an ideal team composition tailored to different levels!
In critical moments, you can also actively unleash your Rage Ultimate Skill to shock the entire battlefield! At this time, your teammates will also cooperate with you to unleash their ultimate skills!
Compared to the conventional roguelike gameplay of slaying monsters with a single character, doesn’t this feel quite interesting?
Not satisfied with the protagonist being a little lamb? You can also choose a superhero as your Slot 1 character!
How do you like it? Guess what awesome skills they’ll have! Which superhero do you want to play as?
Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts!
